Someone told me something really important before that really helped, he told me: A person's heart is like a prison, inside the prison is a small version of ourselves. We do not dare to let the little person inside our heart out, worried it will get into trouble. Hence, the prison wall becomes thicker. And the space inside the prison becomes smaller and smaller causing discomfort to the little person. When the little person is upset, she/he will cry inside your heart. You may not cry holding every emotion inside, but the little person is constantly bearing all these sad emotions. If it hurts so much, let it out before you break and can't be fixed anymore.
It´s good.. but not the most beautiful! Ever seen NieR: Automata? My most favorite game and the 3rd playthrough menu looks so amazing! Even more when you understand what it´s about :3
23:10 When he starts talking about his experience, the video cuts for an edit and his eyes are redder when it cuts back in like he was crying for a bit and cut it out. Good god my heart broke.
Kylee Maclean First of all, hello! I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been Subscribed to the Channel since 2017 and, when the stress and burnout started to show, I felt an immediate concern for this Irish TH-camr whom I’d never met. But I didn’t know the scope of how dark things had become for him until his 2017 New Year’s Eve Vlog. Looking at this video in hindsight, it makes me even more emotional knowing that Seán was *so close* to telling us what he didn’t reveal until a year later (2019). That, for a brief moment, Seán himself actually contemplated suicide. I have a huge amount of respect for the boundaries Seán began putting in place for himself in 2019 and reiterated just recently during his Return Stream in August of 2020. That said, I hope people will keep videos like this one in mind whenever they start going off the rails over silly things that mean fuck all at the end of the day: Like hair color, beard length, a Paddy Cap, or even every series that Seán rightfully saw fit to retire. What matters most is that Seán has found his balance between doing what he loves after almost eight years, interacting, in a *much healthier way,* with the Community and finding happiness in his personal life.
Thought I should just put this out there *I live in the US and I think they need to improve their hotlines and cites for suicide help. I’ve called the hotline before and was left waiting for almost half an hour and on the site I was put on a very long waiting list. Others could not have the patience for that and decide to go through with whatever they had in mind before. It’s dangerous*
I use Crisis Textline but even that takes 3-10 minutes for a new text. That's WAY too long. So many times I'd given up on it or completely left the conversation.
It’s the same in Canada. I waited for an hour. An hour before I was disconnected. I didn’t even connect with someone, the app shut down. That’s bullshit..
im in New Zealand, and during one of the worst years of my life I called a suicide and counselling hotline. I waited almost an hour to talk to someone, and then when I finally got to talk to someone they said that I would be added to a *three month long* wait list to see a councilor (idk if im spelling this right). I never actually ended up talking to the person they set me up for. I gave up on that place and removed myself from their list. I haven't talked to a councilor, but one of my friends is helping me out, and things are getting better.
I don’t usually write about myself but I will this one time I’m really serious Jack, thankyou so much for playing this I’m actually going through the same thing as this character in the game All my Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, Grandma, Grandad, best friend and Boyfriend died in a span of 4 days. I listened to you’re every word in this video. Thankyou. Every day I feel like giving up But I’m not like that And Thanks to you, I don’t want to give up Even if I can’t take any more Even if it gets worse Even if I lose everything I will never give up Thanks to you and this video, I’m signing up for a place to talk about what happened I’m reaching out because of you and so thank you so much for this inspiring message I hope this helps others as much as it helped me and I hope people that have been through things like this will think they don’t need to leave this world because of something like that, they should live on knowing that their lost ones have moved on to a better place... I really appreciate this video and will always keep this message in my head I won’t live on because I forgot I will live on because I remember I won’t leave this world because I’ve lost them I won’t give in I will fight every second so I can be happy, remembering that they left me to fight and I will see them when it’s time Thank you so much Jack You are so inspiring and I really look up to you And thanks to you, I will live on another day Thanks to you, I won’t give in Thanks to you, I will seek help , I will be strong And I will keep fighting All thanks to you ❤️ Edit: around a year later Hello! I'm still here! Thankyou all for your support and concerns, I'm still going through immense therapy but I'm doing better! I'm starting to help others who are going through what I've been through and I like to think I'm doing a good job! You're all wonderful people and I hope you are all safe and doing well!! Thankyou so much!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🙏
The fact that so many of your family members died in four days just traumatizes me that this kind of stuff happens so quickly... and some of us just can’t stop it.. Sorry if I reminded you about it.
I admire you. You are going through so much and are so much stronger than I am. I lose spirit through other people’s pain, not my own. My best friend has 2 dying aunts, and she is holding onto her sanity by a string. My other friend, who never knew his father, had his uncle as a father figure. His uncle died recently and my friend hasn’t attended school for a week. I am very scared for both of them, and their grief is also my own.
Wow, my own comment reminded me of American Psycho: "Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark."
@@unkilled6014 it is the sad truth.. but its better to live life as long as you can so you can stay happy longer. :) (not that im disagreeing about the life coming to its end tho :T)
I always love it when Jack sits down and talks like this. He sounds genuine when it comes to topics like this and for some reason, I always feel calmer. Yesterday was a bit of a rough day for me emotionally, heck, everyday for last few months has been rough for me. The constant pressure to deliver on a specific video series, struggles with money, feeling under appreciated and like I'm just a tool for everyone to use and then toss aside when they're done with it. Still, Jack's words did make me feel a little better. I'm gonna keep trying to do what I want in life, but constantly being knocked down and dragged through the mud does start to wear on you. I'm just hoping I can keep going.
NoobMister TH-cam is in a shitty spot right now, smaller TH-camr just aren’t getting the views that a lot of them deserve. Your channel looks really interesting. Just please, please don’t ever give up. I know it sounds like I don’t understand but I do. If you need to talk please just message me or email me
I don't know if it was just the lighting, but at some points, it looked like Jack was going to cry. He's such a genuine guy and no matter where he is and where I am, I'm glad that someone cares. During the game, I was holding it in but when Jack switched to full screen and talked to the camera, it felt like he was actually here and talking to me and I started crying so hard and my headphones kept falling out because I'm laying down and my tears are going into my ears. Anyways, thanks Jack 💕 I've been trying to be strong. It's so hard. I wake up with nothing to look forward to, I sleep my life away because I just feel so tired. Yes, I have people there for me during the day, but when it's the end of the day and it's dark out and my light is out, it's just me and my thoughts. No one talks to me out of school and I just cry through the night, sometimes without even having reason to. It hurts, but I know it'll get better. Then, I find the strength to open TH-cam and start to drift off into another reality and I find myself not crying anymore and I'm smiling and laughing and it almost seems that everything is normal again. And TH-camrs like you just help me through, you guys are seriously heros. Without TH-cam, I don't know where I would be now and if id even be here.
Ruth-Ann400 I'm so sorry you've had to go through this alone, but people do care about you, and it's good to cry.. to get your feelings out, and if you ever need someone to talk to, I know I don't know you, but I'll be here😊 and yes watching jacksepticeye does make everything feel better and he definitely truly cares about all of us and I'm glad that he's helped you, and you just gotta keep your head high and get through each day, dont ever give up, please, I know it's hard but you are strong, you can do it💖
Ruth-Ann400 you are important to the world and the people in it, stay strong and know that this community is here to help. I also find that TH-cam helps me forget about my problems and feel better. Keep doing life and believe.
TH-cam can be the best place on earth at times. But sadly enough it's not really a place where you can really talk to people alone and meet them. I've seen so many nice people in youtube comments and just wish I could know them better/more. But that's not really a thing in youtube.
You're one of the reasons why I'm not dead yet.... Edit after a year: I’m okay I didn’t expect this much support I would’ve cried had I seen it sooner than now. I really appreciate it :)
I met this amazing girl last year on highschool. I noticed she liked the same kind of music as me since she kept looking at me when I was wearing merchandise of the band. One day, I went to the girl with one of my best friends. We talked for 20 minutes straight and she gave me her phone number so we could stay in contact. Months passed and we had become very good friends. I trusted her, she trusted me. I love her and she loves me. But then in all went wrong. She told me she had been depressed for over 3 years now and that it was all caused because of the bullying on her elementary school. Lately she hadn't been feeling well and she kept feeling down more and more everyday. I send her a lot of messages telling her she was the prettiest, most kind, funny and amazing person I've ever met. She thanked me, but it still wasn't over yet. She send me pictures that she made scratches on her arms with her locker key. Then, she started using scissors and went a little too far. She has scars on her arms now. Scars of the pain those bullies have caused her. Though, I told my teacher and he would take action. I was scared. Scared of being left behind by her because I told someone about her problems. She told me I was the only one who knew about it. That's why I became so scared. Another few weeks had passed and the teacher I told her problem to came up to me again. He told me she would get help at a clinic. A clinic especially designed for people with depression. After that I noticed things had gotten better. She used to wear long sleeved shirts to hide her scars, but nowadays she's only wearing short sleeved shirts. Not because of the weather, but because she has accepted the way she is. And that's great, I told her that she has to stay strong and that I would always be here for her. She can text me whenever she wants. Even at night. I'm always ready for whatever may come to me in the future. I'm happy again. She's happy again and I prevented her from committing suicide since she had thought about that a lot. Everything is fine now and so is she. She's my best friend and she will forever stay like that. I love her from the bottom of my heart and she deserves so much more happiness than she already has. Thank you for the ones who took the time to read this. Leaving a nice comment would mean a lot to me and to her. Edit: Thank you so so much for all the inspiring and supportive comments. It means a lot to me and definitely to my friend. I'm hoping that Jack will see this comment sometime. He really did inspire me to do this for her and that's why I left this comment on his video. That's why I also want to thank Jack! :)
Speaking of depression and suicide. I was planning to kill myself this year. Came out of a long relationship, didn't do well at school so jobs are hard to get, you know...the usual. Then I found a girl who completely changed my life. I couldn't be happier. If someone had told me I'd have been this happy a few months ago, I'd have never believed them. She made me like myself again, I'm working out, trying to get a job and save up money to rent my own place. TH-cam has been really great too, everyone seems to be having fun doing what they like, which is amazing to watch and to relax to. Obviously its hard to make a living from it, but just seeing everyone enjoying themselves (for the most part) is really inspiring. Sorry, I'm rambling, I just wanted to say that...with everything else in my life, you, Sean, have made a huge impact. I don't want to get too sad but, you've brought me some of my most happiest memories, cause I haven't had a good life (read into that what you will). Idk how to finish these thoughts...so THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!! You mean a lot to so many people P M A :)
*Thank you for addressing so many struggles Jack.* I'm currently scraping and clawing my way out of over a decade of severe clinical depression. *Thank you for not belittling all of us who are fighting every day with whatever struggle.*
kaykay12152 You'll get there in the end. And even if your world doesn't look the same at the end of it all, it's okay. Things change, and they can get better from there on out. Good luck with over coming your depression, and good luck with your bright and well earned future.
I know it’s extremely hard to go through that on a day to day basis, and I know that it’s terrible, but I know you can do it! We all believe in you and you’ll get through this eventually. Just try to stick with things that make you happy. Be the best you can be and never stop trying. You. Can. Do. It.
I feel the pain. I have very severe depression, and I don’t know what or why this is happening, but I’ve been having a lot more suicidal thoughts daily. So I wanted to say, we can do this together my friend! If you want to talk about your day, I’m here!
insert original username here, The thing is you have to go through something like that to fully understand the way it feels, what you go through and so on. Its really difficult to creat a game or even a story about this tipe of topics if you yourself haven't gone through it yourself.
insert original username here Triple A games will never reach this level. Short games have a certain charm to them which are unique to themselves, just as Triple A games to themselves. You can't make a hundred hours of content from a premise that gives an hour at best.
Jack, I don't know how to put in to words the appreciation I have for you. I've been fighting for depression for years now, recently just had one of my lowest lows ever. It was also in this span of two or three days that I picked up a knife for the first time in years with the intention to start cutting again. But as you said in this video, there's always a light. I found my light, and it made the depression seem...not sure how to word it, really, so let's say "normal." It gave me a new hope, and a new perspective to look from. Part of the light was finding your Planet Coaster Videos, and being able to distract myself from myself with them. Long story short, Jack, thank you. When you play these kinds of games it just reminds me of the years of fighting I've been doing, and it reminds me that I am much stronger than I give myself credit for. To those of you who may need help, take it from someone who has attempted several times, the light is there. Keep Fighting. Keep Living. Keep Loving.
as someone who has heavily dealt with depression and loss and still does, I can say that this is decently accurate. I lost my best friend from suicide at age 8 and I'm still not over it at age 14. depression is something that messes with you so much that it becomes inbedded within you when you can't get help. I've personally attempted suicide many many times and I still have those very thoughts to this day. self harm is something that I've dealt with since I was 7. this kind of stuff is very real and it needs to become something that society needs to make normal. not something that make you seem "weird" or "insane" or "weak" for dealing with this type of stuff. I'm not too sure if this made sense but I hope it did. *rip Bailey. you will forever be in our hearts. we miss you*
i agree with the part were everyone else didn't look human i have had that happen to me so that i still recognize people but the feeling that came with it was gone and i don't see them as my mom or my brother
I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m just gonna say this please take my word for this: Please do not commit anything don’t commit suicide and don’t do anything bad to your body even in heaven you’ll really regret it so please don’t just don’t do anything Bad to your body even though this comment was posted a year ago and your age 14 to 15 don’t do anything bad you will really regret it please don’t😢😢😭😭😭
I never realized since this point, how much Jack, and youtubers in general helped me grown as a person. I would be nowhere without them. Fortunately I don't have very big mental health problems, but I have some issues that not necessarily knows anybody. But the fact, that I watch youtubers for a few years now, who make me laugh or make me think about stuff, and courage me to keep going, is helped me a lot. And by that I mean a LOT. And not just that I feel like I got better, but I realize that I start to become the person who courages people to do the right things, or just the one who is try to be nice to everybody.. Back then I was the typical "I hate everybody cause they're dumb" kinda person. But is changed a lot. I'm rambling, my English is really bad, and I don't even remember what I wanted to say... But I can thank a lot to a lot of youtubers. They are not just entertainers anymore. They have much more important roles in people's lives.
Little Riley, thank you so much for giving this message. I never realized how much I have grown thanks to people like Jack and the others. I never would have been able to write that myself, seeing as how I'm incredibly shy about expressing my feelings about certain topics, unless like in this circumstance where someone else expresses a similar idea. If I could ask you a favor, please continue to inspire people like me who are even too shy to write a TH-cam comment.
With this comment u made a lot of people happy , youtubers who whant some actual possitive change in peoples lives try there darn best to help people. Its nice and beautifull to see that not just u , me , or the whole community have learned , felt , and got that sweet PMA . U are a BIG Riley ^.^
hey Jack. you probably won't read this, but it's worth a try. last year was literally the worst year of my life, so many people died in my past and in the worst of my times when i needed people to talk to all my friends left, including my Boyfriend who i was together with for quiet awhile, and who was the most important thing to me. i've never been this alone, i celebrated my birthday, Christmas and new years eve alone in my room. not even a single person texted me on those days. half of my family is dead, and i have no contact to the other half. i'm at a point where everyone i care about is gone, everyday i stay up early in the morning, i'm working the whole day and at the end of the day i go home take a shower watch 1-2 videos from you and go straight to bed then, just because knowing that i have no one to talk to is killing me. and i was really close to giving up many times, i still am.. and this may sound weird but you were basically the only consistence in my life, nothing really helped me except you, watching your video and seeing how much fun you have just by playing some games made me forget about some bad thoughts. and i just want to thank you for that, you’re doing more than you think with those videos, and watching you always helps me to „turn my head off“ for a little while. soo yeah.. really jack thank you so much. x
Sina Rde everything will end up ok in the end i understand your case i was a accident my mom abused me when i was a kid and i moved out when i was 14 because my parents were divorced, they divorced cause of me and so i caused there divorce, i had over 15 people die last year from either car accidents to cancer and my girlfriend moved away to michigan across the US and i thought that was bad but i didn't know till 2 weeks later that she died in a car accident and i was broken, I've never had a birthday party and i separate myself from the rest of my family and hide in my room all the time i understand how you feel but know that it can always get worse amd that even with what your going through/ went through you still are lucky you have a phone you got a place to live you got food and water while there's other people that don't have anything stay strong
Erica Hedgepeth I know right! there's nothing else i love more than Jack and being here right now, this community. its changed Me a lot as a person and it's helped me through alot. it really Makes me feel like people care and I always feel less Alone whenever I'm here. So huge Thanks to Jack and all of you! Love you guys! ❤
Shadow Wolf 101 I feel the exact same way has you ! I’m not afraid anymore to express myself in the comment section because everyone is so nice to me and to everyone and i think that it is the most beautiful thing 🙂 I like how jack can change the point of view of a lot of person and change them in a good way ! Good luck with everything in the futur !💚
Kilee Barker we are all here for you. We love you. We care about you. No one should suffer like this. I still suffer, but for everyone that's suffering with us, let's be each other's lights.
The art in the game was beautiful, absolutely. I had a problem when they portrayed all clinics/therapists as people who are against you. Not all therapists keep a mouthful of secrets. Some genuinely can help, some are really nice. I had a therapist (not for depression) and he was one of the best, nicest people I have ever met. He was very understanding and really helped me get through hard times. Not everybody is against you, or are there just for money. Good wishes to all who read this!
Aqua Angel you are right. of course. but some kinds of depression come with the thoughts of "nobody understands me" and "everybody is against me" especially those that end or could end with suicide. After all: as long as there is still hope someone or something could help you don't end your life (at least not because of depression). And I think the game tried to show that, to make the player feel that. But that is just my interpretation, could be wrong.
i think he might realise that but i think he said that because it is what the character sees it as. no het towards you, im just trying to say that i know jack wouldnt mean anything like that towards therapists or anyone like that, have a good one
Aqua Angel I know I had to have therapy for depression and suicidal/self-harm tendencies and he was the nicest person I've ever met, who helped and the ultimate goal was to make sure I never had to come back because I'd be better, but they are there to help, if you need it there's no shame in asking
TheTrueLlamacorn I agree. but also. I think the game was just trying to make the player, and in this case, the viewers look and feel how a person going through depression is. I think that you are 100% correct though. Not all therapists are out to get you. and I am so sorry to hear about that. I had my fill of depression but my family is slowly helping pull me out of it. I wish you the best and if you need anyone to talk to just let me, or anyone know. I'm sure we will be fine with it :)
Never a commenter, but this was important to me. It meant the world to me that Jack critiqued this game. Having grown up with depression, anxiety, and ptsd and growing up with a mother who suffered from those as well, this game didn't sit with me well. Just as Jack said, the way this game portrayed medication and mental health professionals was a rude cliche that sours me every time I see it. I owe my life to the doctors who took the time to care and to the experts who looked into and crafted the meds that try to help bring mental suffering down. Meds may not totally "fix" your mental health problems, but goddamn can they build you a foundation to work on when you're sinking into nothing. Another critique I personally have was with the "Join" ending. Another incredibly toxic cliche. That ending could've been portrayed immensely better. Perhaps when you clicked "Give In" the next slide showed her funeral where her family are now mourning. Instead the creator gave it a cute little slide with some ghosties holding hands. It's not like that though. It's not a glorious reunion. You've killed yourself, due to immense pain. It's not cute. It's a tragedy. It's heartbreaking. My grandmother died a year and a month ago. My mom and I were so close to her. We watched her die. It still breaks my heart. My mom still cries. Growing up with the fear that I might not wake up with my mother was awful, and my grandma's passing made it so much more terrifying. Thinking that my mom might one day be so miserable that she would kill herself, it kills me. Suicide isn't cute. Apologies for the paragraph, this just really hit me in a way and I needed to talk about it in a public forum I guess. If you read this, thank you! And if you see this then thank you so much for what you do and why you do it, Jack.
AJ4106 I know I'm not Jack, but all I can say is that I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're fighting, and I'm also sorry. I'm sorry that you went through all those things that made you understand how terrible life truly can be, but you're still going. And that's amazing. Thank you for carrying on even through the pain, and I wish you good luck for your future.
Yes I agree that it was a tough game to get through, and that Sean did an amazing job talking and discussing it. And though things seem like they’ll never change or get better, they will, but only if you keep trying your best to be a better person and get out of this hole. We all believe that you can do it! And I’m glad you at least put it out there so people can support you. And don’t worry, we’re always here! This is the best community I have ever seen on the internet and I hope it never changes, or if it does that it will only get better. We are all here for you, you can do it! You can change things for the better! Just believe you can and don’t stop trying! Don’t be afraid of failure if it doesn’t always work. And don’t keep your feelings bottled up inside, it’ll only make things worse. Like Sean said, talk to somebody, you seem close to your mom try to talk to her. I’m sorry if this didn’t help you much but I tried my best. I hope the best for you and that things get better.
AJ4106 yeah idk if the developers were going for an outside pov or the literal pov of someone depressed. And some people do see that as what would happen but it isnt. People will always miss those who become lost
*"Go seek professional help"* Is what everyone that said me. *"Talk to your parents to get medical treatment to help you"* Is what they said. But.. What would you do if you're still too young to go seek professional help? Your parents? What If they don't believe anything you said? I've been through this a lot, I know I should seek help, but what should you do if no one believes you? My parents think I'm just saying bullcrap that I saw in the Internet. But I've had depression and anxiety way before I knew it was a serious thing. I tried to talk this about my friends, but they don't know anything about mental illness. And when I explained to them they don't even care just one sentence and left. In the end I found friends that been through these things.. My closer friends, comments, youtubers, etc. And that gave me courage to fight through the darkness times because.. *"You're not alone."* Everyone been through those times, which is fine! Some won, some loss, but that's okay. Because as day passes I can promise you. *"You'll find a light to survive."* Whether it's a person, a book, a popstar, or even youtubers! Sure, good things come to an end, but so do bad things. So just stay strong.
i don't think my parents would believe me either. i have self harm and depression issues but noone knows about it i like to keep it to myself usually because i feel like noone would care and would probably make my depression worse
Lets be friends. Im a pre teen and I felt the same way, I was always trying to find my voice and tell people that young kids can have depression and anxiety too and that professional help is hard to get but people overlook this. Thanks for being my voice, this comment is unpopular but you made me feel not alone. Thank you
I'm not crying, you're crying. And you're crying. And you're crying. And now I'm crying, too. Though this game is short and sweet, I can't say I didn't love the playtime and the followup conversation. I actually smiled and had a tear roll down my cheek as I heard "you're doing great. we're all proud of you." That's something that I feel people don't hear enough of in life. We're always striving to achieve, but even if you come close and fail, it's still something to be proud of, because there's plenty of people out there who are happy to see you try. And who knows, maybe by just trying your best at the things you do, you'll inspire someone to try just as hard at something, too.
Jacksepticeye, I just wanted to tell you thank you. I am an US veteran and I've lost my wife almost 4 years ago while I was attending my last year at a college after service. Since then, I've been working jobs left and right trying to forget the pain as I thought it was responsibility of mine as a veteran to stay strong and show fortitude to kids who are looking up to me. I finally broke down 6 month ago, I had to quit my job and avoided everyone in my life in complete solitude hoping that things will get better. I didn't want to show my weak side to everyone who has looked up to me as a veteran, but things are keep getting worse, sinking with no bottom. I began to lose all hopes of better tomorrow and lose all of courage to live on. Right after watching this video, I've reached out to VA for help, and I am setting up counseling tomorrow. Thank you again from bottom of my heart for giving me a courage I needed to take step toward right direction.
I'm so glad you've sought help and I'm proud of you for making it this far. You're stronger than you know (I know that sounds cliche, but it's true). I wish you nothing but the best.
Some think that asking for help, even as a veteran, is a sign of weakness. It takes someone with immense strength and a hope for things to get better to admit that things aren't okay. I'm not a veteran, but I've seen what its like to be at a dark place and feel like its not even worth trying to be happy again. I hope for the best for you. And know that getting help is an immense step to recovery, and you are doing right by millions of others by getting help. It can and will get better. Best of luck, friend.
this made me remember the first time i talked to a professional about my "demons" i didnt say too much but im still so proud that i got to atleast bring it up with our guidance counselor
We are all so proud of you as well! I'm so glad you found the energy and the strength to talk about it. Never give up, and know that there are always people, even random strangers, who care about you. ❤
thank you guys for the support! it really means a lot, also back to school is coming in about a week or so for me and i'll try to speak up more this year, again thank you!
I am suffering with suicidal thoughts im failing my grades because of it, my parents dont know it, nobody does, im scared to tell anyone, so this kinda helped thx jack, ur vids always help, the only person I could posibly trust is u Sean and I dont evn know u very well...
Dragon Queen hopefully you get better. Try to see the good in the world. I don’t have much more advice than that I’m afraid, as I’m going through depression myself.
Streak the Indoraptor i had trouble telling my parents to because i couldn’t trust them enough to take it seriously. so i talked to my friends and i told one of my closest teachers and she helped me so much. tell someone you trust and talk it out with them. even if it goes on for hours and hours, just talk to somone. do things that make you happy. for me it was listening to music, playing sport or watching funny videos. idc if you’re a stranger to me, i’ll even talk to you. just keep going.
2 years ago I was stuck in a similar boat. I don't know what situation has lead up to this, I don't know you or your backstory. But please do know that I care. It's how I am. I care for total strangers. There is nothing I personally can do to help you, as again I do not personally know you. All I can say in this moment is that I hope things get easier for you.
Just as I was watching this my boyfriend texted me about how shitty of a day at work he’s having. I talked to him for a bit and he seemed to really cheer up. I’m so happy we have each other for support and love. Relationships aren’t about being “romantic” or some other bullshit, it’s about making each other better, happier people. Before I met him I’ve been trying to beat depression for a year and I was looking for that final push to become truly happy. He helped me find myself and realize I’m not just an addition to my family or friends, I’m my own person, I deserve love and support and a special bond with someone. I never expected this out of a relationship and all I do now is motivated by my own choices, not what I think I should do. This lets me reflect on the worst times in my life and realize how far I’ve come. Everyone going through bad times now I support you and urge you to find what you need in life now.
Nwakif 35 You’re right but I meant the “you have to give chocolate and flowers on Valentine’s Day” kind of romantic, meaningless stuff that people force just because of stereotypes etc
There was a time when I found sadness to be my friend because it always stuck around with me, it was there for me. Maybe it thought happiness was an illness out to get me, because I found out that I had felt pretty much the same until I realized that something wasnt right, a song that I heard on a speedpaint (I used to watch those a lot) and some of the words just kinda said something to me like.. "Heyy you havent noticed your friend over there? Its been trying to talk to you and befriend you for a long time and you havent even noticed it was there! Go on kiddo, go say hi!" like a parent telling you to say hi to your cousin or something. I then figured that happiness was just out to get me, sadness was there to protect me without realizing who may have been doing the real damage..
You don’t have to let sadness completely out of your life. If I let myself feel anything but sad every once in a while, o would become a toxic person who’s temper is short. If I didn’t cry when my grandad committed suicide, I would have fucking killed myself too for not being able to properly grieve someone I care about. Sadness and happiness are needed in tolerable quantities. People that are cheerful 24/7 and don’t talk about their emotions generally become the ones who are the most depressed.
This game was something that meant a lot to me when I played it, because for the past couple months, I’ve been in a very bad place, mentally. It was only until very recently when I was able to finally gather up the courage to ask my mom to let me go see a therapist. Part of the reason I was able to ask for help was because of Jack and the community. But anyway, onto the game. I got a very specific message from this game, but I don’t think I would have gotten the same message if I had played this game differently. When I played this, I missed the fridge the first several tries, and because of this, I wasn’t able to go to swains lane, and I didn’t even know that there was another place you could go. So I wandered through the game, and after only reaching endings where she died, I started to question if there WAS a “good” ending. But after several tries I was finally able to get to the ending where I had the option to survive. And that’s when I got my version of the message the game was trying to send. That even when it seems like no matter what you do, there’s only one outcome, that’s not true. There’s always something you haven’t tried. There’s always a path you haven’t thought of. There’s always something or someone out there to help you get through this, even if you haven’t found it yet.
I know that feeling, the only thing that one can do it's just ask himself *"Why this happened, why i couldn't do anything?"* , i really wish that nobody had to live something like that, to tell goodbye to a parent, a friend or some other loved one. Thanks for this Jack, i'm sure this means a lot to everyone, it means a lot to me.
Zevastian 1991 I know people will say this a lot to you, and probably already have, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry you felt that way or even still feel that way, and I'm sorry about anything that has happened to make you feel that way. But you're here, and you're doing okay. Maybe not great, but you're here. And that means there's still hope. Thank you for sticking around with us.
Zevastian 1991 No problem. I just want to try and help those I can, because even though I may not know all of you personally, I still feel like we need to stick together and give a family to those who maybe don't have one.
"Just hang in there, you're doing great. We're all very proud of you." I.... Really needed that. I didn't realize how much I needed that until I heard it. I didn't know just how much I needed to hear someone I look up to me tell me to hang in there, I'm doing great, and that he's very proud of me. I didn't know. I know it shouldn't mean as much to me as it does, but watching this channel really helps me keep going. It's helped me try to be more positive, it's helped me feel more comfortable with sharing how much pain I'm in with people that can help. I know I've said this many times before, but I'll say it again. This man is the best man to ever live. He understands how it feels to be in a dark place, and he wants to provide kindness and support for those who find themselves in need of it. He has so much fame, so much influence, and he's using it to better the world. He's not using it to his own advantage or his own personal gain, he's using it to help others. He's using the influence he has to make others happy. He gives so many people a reason to keep going, a reason to keep living. He gives ME a reason to keep going, to keep living. He makes me want to follow in his footsteps, to help make others happy. And I'm trying to get there, one step at a time. He always wants to show just how much he cares, and just how good things can be in life if you just keep going. He inspires me, he inspires US ALL. He's just such a wonderful, kind, caring, loving, and all-around amazing human being. He addresses these serious topics, and in such a good way at that. He understands. He cares. He listens. He's what I want to be. He's what makes me happy. He's why I keep living.
To the people who go through this stuff on a daily basis. Just hold on, life may seem like it only gets worse but hold on to the good and let the bad wash over you. I know a lot of people can’t just do that. And I’ve been there many times but take it from me when I say keep holding on. Things will get better, it may take some time but it will. Even if you think that it’s only gonna get worse, and most likely it will. But keep pushing through, I was there too. Thinking it only gets worse and worse. But then things changed. I met people that care about me majorly. People that have saved me from suicide on 5 occasions, I went through the better half of my life hiding from the real world. My own family didn’t know what was going on with me. But I pushed through. I kept holding on and worked on keeping the good and letting the bad wash over. And it worked most days but sometimes it didn’t. Still, I pushed through for 5 years before things got better. And now I’m happy. I’m a better person then I was before. I’ve grown as a person, I’ve become more social. So please when you think everything is crap... hold on to the truth. There’s always people there who want you to be there with them. Talk to them, talk to the people you trust. And in time things will get better
I'm living proof that it gets better. When you're at a very dark place those words don't help at all, I know. I was depressed for 5 years. I tried to commit suicide once, and was self harming for all those years. I've been "clean" for one year now, and I'm so happy I didn't give in. What kept me here was my family ❤ Never ever give up! Seek help, even though it's hard. It WILL get better! I promise you ❤
My depression is a chemial imbalance thing! It's been a great help and I rarely cry for no reason anymore. I totally agree with what Jack is saying. He's such a good person.
Depression is linked to evolutionary thought. If your depressed - evolution is telling you to do something physically or spiritually. There are no cheat sheets in brain synapses
Good to know that stuff does help some people. I have been trying a lot of different medicine but they never worked for me. But my problem wasn't that I cry a lot, I can't remember when I actualy felt something happy or sad. Although, after 7 years I've recently gotten a new 'label'. Does Autism therapy help remembering how to feel happy? (No need to be worried though, I'm being watched all the time so guess I won't be leaving just yet! See, the happy mask still works online)
16:51 Also, when he talked about the therapy aspect of the game, I think the developer was trying to show how the patient sees it. How the patient's perception is twisted.
I personally went through major depression. I attempted suicide which was the worst mistake of my life. I was being bullied and I was mentally unable to take it. When my parents took me to the phsyciatrists I was skeptical about it but after receiving so much moral support from friends, family, and others too, I started to see that life is so much more than survival and that it is so worth living. I am now on my way to a career in the Canadian army and I haven't been happier. Even though I still get depressed sometimes (because im still bullied) I continue to keep my head high and know that I have a purpose in this world and it's greater than just existing. Jack, you couldn't be more right
Nicholas Thompson I know it's kind of weird but I'm happy that you're happy! Heck I don't even know you yet I'm proud and happy that you made it trough that difficult time! I hope you have a wonderful life, good sir! And remember to always keep your head high!
Nicholas Thompson We are all so proud of how strong you have been. Just know that you are never alone. We are all here, even though we’re just random strangers, waiting and ready to help you. Keep fighting and those bullies will eventually realise that they’re just jealous that you have what they don’t. You can do this! You will get though it 🙂
Nicholas Thompson just tryna make some people here smile :) I’m so glad we could help, even just a little! I find that helping others can act as a kind of therapy for me
I am not sad, depressed, and or suicidel, but I still think that you are spreading the right words and being a good guy. So I just wanted to say you are doing the right thing and you should keep it up.
Just now re-watching this...I realize that many people around me think that I happy... But I'm really not. When I started to watch you Jack everything changed. I was happy. I smiled for real. No fake smiles. No cuts. No terrible thoughts. I felt stronger. I was so upset after my pop died. I have moved a lot in my life and I haven't got anytime with my family. I so happy that I still have you, Jack. You've changed my life so much. I'm so thankful that you haven't left yet. My whole family left me. Sorry if this is really long or a huge rant its just what Jack said made me more open and better about telling people about how I feel.
I'm really really sorry. No one deserves to go through what you have gone through l. But you still have us, and don't ever forget that. Please stay strong✌️👍❤️
Videos like this give me mixed feelings: I have considered suicide and self harm several times before, looking at both the pro's and con's, trying to logic my way through it. No one knows that I have felt like that, gonna keep it that way too, and I don't think it was depression. Watching these things reminds me of how many times I would find a quiet corner, sharp thing in hand, wondering what would happen if I pressed just a little harder... and all the times I chickened out and went back to scratching and biting. But watching these also reminds me that, if I had pushed a little harder, I probably would have never stopped pushing. I would never be writing this dumb comment. And I would never have been here long enough to meet my baby sister. I won't end this with a super sappy speech about 'how my life has been transformed thanks to this one video!' I am just gonna end with a simple, thank you. Edit: Fuck, I didn't think anyone would see this! I am surprised to say the least...
Thanks for this comment. I went trough some similar things. I'm happy to know that I'm not alone! Also you're awesome for being brave enough to put your story here. Just simply thank you! 😎
I appreciate your brave and being able to talk about your problems in the comments section. I want you to know that you are not alone and I know this sound cheesy, but things WILL get better. All you have to do is understand what you are going through and work to fix it. That can be Through anything, whether it's therapy or art or music or even TH-cam. Just know that I am proud of you, of ALL of you! And thank you for still being here. 💚💚💚
I’m glad you played this, Sean. It’s nice to see TH-camrs play games that deals with heavy topics, it makes it where people that watch the video of the games open up about it more to the people that care about them. It also makes it where those people know that people care about them and the issue that they are having and don’t share. These kinds of videos and games help a lot of people, Sean, and I’m glad you are one of those people helping.
GirlGaming1324 I love this comment because its true. Watching Sean watch this made me feel how he was feeling. You can tell at the end he was trying not to cry, he was relating to it. Seeing him sad literally made me tear up.
Well, this hits home. I enjoy this game for what it is, and I've seen it a few times now. However, watching this now on June 2, it hits home. Yesterday, on June 1, I found out that the night of May 31 we lost a good young man that we work with. He was only 19 years old, and today is his birthday; would have been 20. He was a sweet soul - a great coworker, supervisor, and friend to all of us that worked with him. Anthony, may you rest in God's arms. We love and miss you.
I’m praying for Anthony’s family and loved ones right now. It’s so saddening to see a kind undeserving soul be gone, especially if they take part in your life every day. This is the time for you and your coworkers to work on your PMA, as Jack would say. Praying for his loved ones ❤️
angela he's art is literally amazing, all of her games are actually amazing. her games always really hit whether its about sickness or suicide. thank you sean, for showing your base real things that can happen and helping peoples lives.
I love it when he addresses this stuff.. it means so much to people including myself (though I do not feel the way shown in this game) PMA is one of the best things that happened to me and a lot of others I would believe. Edit: here’s some extra love 💚💚💚💚
You have the right mindset. Please do me a favor and continue to inspire people like you and I, who may be afraid to write a comment about how they feel.
You know that pma is a universally debunked idea from the latter half of the 20th century right? Sean just adopted the name with absolutely no idea what it meant.
I want to put in a note as well. Sometimes for some people suffering, they don't know that they're suffering until something happens that makes them realize what they're going through. For me, I had an incident happen in the eighth grade that spiked my depression to an extreme. I didn't know I had it until that incident happened. I've been living with my depression for about four almost five years now. I was surrounded by toxicity that made me hate myself and made me do things to my body that made people hate me even more. But up until this 2017-2018 school year, I had felt like complete crap and I faked that I was okay because I didn't want anyone to worry. When that school year started for me, I met the most amazing people that made me feel like I wasn't alone, that I was happy once again. I was laughing more, I was socializing much more, I was truly happy. These people that I've met are my second family, and I've told them many times that I wouldn't trade them for anything. For anyone who's going through something similar or something completely different, PLEASE know that you are NOT alone. There are people in the world that love you and want you to stay in this world. Don't cut, don't overdose, don't starve yourself, don't abuse your body thinking that you'll be better if you do, don't harm yourself. You are loved, you are beautiful, everyone loves you. The days may get dark, the days may seem lonelier than ever, but you will meet people that'll feel like home to you, and by god I hope you keep them close if they truly make you happy. And even if I haven't met you, know that I love you. I am proud of you. I want you to keep going. ❤️
Corray Music I knew that I hated my life before this, and I had many suicidal thoughts, and watching the end of this video yesterday made me cry because I felt comforted, even though I could never tell anyone. I don't want to, but I can tell strangers anytime, because I don't know them, people poke fun at me for my personality and weight among other things. I tried not to care, because, like this game, I didn't want anyone to know, that I was sad, I just put on a façade and hope that I fool everyone. But I can't live like this. The world to me is like one giant abusive relationship aimed at me. But I won't kill myself, I have too much live for, and it's not the jerks that make fun of me. I'll try to start telling some friends, but thank you for that inspiration, keep going. I will too.
Your comment made me cry. I've put myself through many of the things you've listed without realizing what I was doing. Thank you, I am going to seek professional help.
its those last few words "hang in there" that got me. I related so much to this game because when my grandfather passed, I lost a huge chunk of my life, someone that kept me afloat, someone that was like my best friend. When he passed, I spiraled out of control because I felt like I had no one anymore. How wrong could've i possibly been when this year life finally started turning around and going my way. But still, theres small episodes, and that cat, thats my girlfriend on a daily basis, supporting me and being there for me, while I try my best to do the same. I basically wanted to put this out there to say to people, it does get better. It just takes time.
peterick._.child I just want to say/type that no matter how you look, gender, age, where you come from or what you do... You matter. No matter what other people say. You are not alone in this big wide world. You can always find someone to talk to! There is approximately trillion++ (I am not good with math) people in the world and you will find someone to talk too. Sometimes, you shouldn't keep everything to yourself, (except if it's about food) Sometimes, you need to let it all out to feel better. And for the love of God(s)! Don't hurt yourself! It's not good AT ALL! Every life matter. God give you a life for a reason, so don't go around throwing away your life! You must find that reason and live a happy life! Who cares about what people think about you! You are yourself and you have you own opinion. So, why bother go around and satisfy other people? We are special in our own way! Weird? No problem me too! Nobody is perfect in this world but we all have our own talent and special in our own way! Some people might look at you and see only your faults, but your true friends are those who can look past that and still accept your true nature. Some people don't cry because they want to seem strong but you know, people cry because they have gone through so much they can't handle it anymore but they don't give up. That's what's strong really is. Sometime you just need to let it all out. There will always someone that can listen to your story. And remember, we're all friends here and if you need a friend, you can always talk to me. PMA! - Hayame Michiko
The other night I had a dream where literally everyone I cared about suddenly hated me and it was eerily realistic so I thought it wasn't a dream even after I woke up. In my dream my crush was the last person I talked to and then he told me I was the main reason that he was gonna do what he was about to do and then he killed himself and it looked so real.. I was so scared... Imagine watching ur crush kill themselves and say that ur the reason why. Imagine thinking it's real. Imagine seeing it in graphic detail. Then imagine waking up alone. And imagine thinking that it wasn't a dream in the first place. Oh and the whole time you have no internet so there's no way to confirm that it didn't really happen. Then imagine finally getting in contact with your crush only to find out they've tried to kill themselves numerous times before. Then they tell you not to worry about them. That's how my day went yesterday.
I'm really sorry that had to happen to you! Since IDK what to say for this um I'll keep this short. First off, I hope they're safe right now and if you can, give them support by just being there. I usually never have that and it hurts a lot. I hope you're both ok ❤
Card I can understand how scary that must have been like you saw your crush kill him or herself and that it's most likely very horrifying cuz I don't know if this person is your friend I'm just going to guess that they are and that must traumatized you and I hope you told the person that this happened and that if they do ever think about this know that you care about them and you don't want them to hurt themselves or worse
As far as the "happy pills" thing. I think that the negative light just came from the idea, that what the doctor said, along with everything else, was distorted through the lens of the main character's depression. A cynical, clouded perspective from the character on the offer of the medication. Not necessarily the opinion of the game or its makers.
Thank you for playing a game like this and I appreciate the discussion you had after it brings up lots of good points that many people don't talk about often
Tried reaching out..... Always denied. Gonna talk to one of my trusted friends... They won't listen, what's the point. Tried opening up to my closest relatives... Acting like they don't care. But even life was like that, I believe that there are still people who wanted me to be happy, to be who I really are and to strong at times like these. For those who had lost their hopes, remember that you are never alone at your battle. We are here to guide you as Jack said.
You will find the ppl that care for u. True friends will always listen,you'll find them sooner . And keep on fighting bcs you can do it!! We're all here for you!!! ≧∇≦
Well said, Jack. This community is unlike anything I’ve ever found, and I don’t just mean on the internet. It really does feel like a family, and I am so, so grateful that we have carved this corner of the web out for ourselves. We support each other, teach each other, defend, learn, and grow with each other. You lead with a great example, Jack, and we’ll keep following it. One thing I realized recently is that PMA isn’t a movement or an action; it’s a mindset and a lifestyle, one that is always looking toward the horizon for that potential happiness, no matter what we’re feeling in the moment now. PMA isn’t about instantaneous happiness. It’s about never giving up.
In my opinion the doctor offering pills says something about the motivations of the doctor. I get the feeling the game creator wanted to portray the doctor as someone that doesn't care, and just wants to give you pills instead of more comprehensive psychological/psychiatric help. Basically the doctor just wants to make money by handing out pills, and in reality doesn't particularly care about the patients or the outcome.
Sadly it was, and may still be, a common practice. The mentality of tossing pills at problems was done as a means of trying to treat people you either can't or just don't want to bother coaxing out of a depressed state. Sadly....and spoiler, things don't always end well when you do this. Often it leads to worse situations in many, a reliance on drugs, debt and running from your problem. Or worse. It is also a sad state of things, but the medical world (at least in the US here) is largely private business at the end of the day. Feels like the creator was burned on this sort of thing too, the doctor gobbling secrets all day and shilling out pills rather than trying to work people out of their problems and raking in the money during such.
Many doctors want to do their job rather than necessarily help people. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of therapists and psychiatrists etc that want to help people, but to them, it's still just black and white. Under 18, they'll try not to give you any pills and will instead fill you with lies and false hope, telling you that it's nothing that can't be solved, just things that have happened that if you talk about they'll suddenly get better. I guess, for some people, that may be true. But for a lot you need more than just fake, overused words to help you through. Doctors may attempt to help but you're just one person out of seven or eight billion to them. Shrug.
I agree. I've got various chronic medical conditions and have had good and bad doctors in several different fields, including mental health, and it is scary how two different doctors treating the same issues can have massively different levels of engagement, compassion, scope of knowledge, bias, burnout, and honesty. There are definitely doctors whose goal is to run out the clock rather than help patients, and think of people as hindrances rather than humans. I've got some stories, lemme tell you... it's really discouraging to people who try to be active in their care and be informed about their bodies to be dismissed or condescended to. Whenever mental health (or any medical) issues come up, a common refrain from people is a generic "see a doctor, get some help," but I think people should be specifically encouraged to "get *EFFECTIVE* help." Absolutely be willing to try various forms of treatments, but don't waste time and money on treatments that don't work, and people who can't (or won't) help.
i hate being this way. i hate being alone. i hate waking up to no one. i hate laying in my bed knowing that i have no reason to get up. i hate being stuck in this loop of wake up, eat, then go to bed. i hate not being able to get help because of my parents disregarding my depression like it's a simple cough. i hate living with my mentally abusive family. i hate being in this world. i have scars. many, many scars. i'm constantly tortured by them every day. i don't blame other people for my scars. i don't blame my family, i don't blame the bullying at school. i blame myself, because i keep telling myself that it's stupid. but it's like a drug. your mind paints this portrait in your head that the numbness will be cured by the stinging on your fragile skin. and i believe it. however, after every single shock of pain it gives me, i regret it. i regret the decision i made to cause my own pain. i can't remember why i even did it in the first place. it's like i've fainted, and i've woken up with retrograde. i haven't gotten in-depth with my problems to anyone because i think that nobody will care. nobody will understand. nobody will take the time to listen. it's like i set myself up for failure. it's like the masks. they pretend they care. they pretend that they kow what i'm going through. THEY PRETEND THAT THEY CAN FIX IT WHEN THEY CAN'T. nobody can fix me. i'm broken. but i will stay strong so that i can help anyone else that DOES understand the cycle of misery... the fear of failure... the constant hate towards the armor that is their skin, the pain of feeling like nothing, the agony of believing that what they have gone through is pointless. i want to help them. and that's what i'm still here for. stay strong. keep your posture straight, get up out of bed today. you never know what's going to come out of today. take a chance. ♡
Churry Piez depression is a very deep hole that is hard to get out of. Depression is like torture, but no matter how much it hurts, people need to endure everything. Try focusing on the happy things more. Get some hobby’s, find any reason to get out of bed. Go on walks, go out with your friends, do whatever you think will help you. I am struggling with depression as well, not nearly as bad as your depression, but I do know what you feel. It feels like nothing can change your mood. It feels like the worst pain imaginable. It hurts. It really does. But you can still get through it.
We’re all a little broken in our own ways, I know you feel like no one can help but stay hopeful :) I’m proud of you and want you to know that your loved and that your doing the best that you can
I'm going to open this by saying that I may not have been through what you've been through, and I may not be able to help you, but I just hope this makes you feel a tiny bit better. True strength does not come with size. True strength does not come with muscle or intelligence. True strength comes with not giving up even when faced with the most hardest of obstacles. True strength is not stepping off of the path to recovery, but it is to continue on it, whether you are alone or with those closest to you. True pain wants to take down true strength. Think of them like people. True pain is the thoughts in your head that will stop at NOTHING to destroy you from the inside out. True pain is the people on the outside who want to break you down and beat you up with their words. True pain will show up in the hardest of times, and it will only make things worse. But true strength is your friend, and always will be. True strength will always be there to argue with true pain, and they will continue to argue and wrestle until one of them gives up. True strength will not give up as long as you are there, because you are the only thing there to prevent that. If you don't give up, then true strength will always be there to take care of your wounds. Don't give up on true strength, because true strength would never give up on you. True pain may always come back, but that's why true strength will always be ready to fight for you.
I honestly feel like Sean is one of the best youtubers who articulate how important it is to talk when you are not surviving and that no matter what you are going through you always have another option and aren't alone. 💕💕
I didn’t realize how serious this matter could be, if you are depressed or you don’t think there’s anything left for you here, just know that nothing is worth your life. It does get better. Hang in there.
The fact that there are only a couple people in the world who care if I end it keeps me alive but I still cry every night and break down most days. Too whoever is reading this, save what little hope you have left and hold it tight. You'll get through this :)
I lost my dad just a couple of days after Christmas 2017 to Suicide. I’ve suffered from the same depression and anxiety and same thoughts as he had since I was little due to genetics, and this video really hit home. I’ve wanted to just give up and just see whatever happens after I die. I’ve refused much needed medicine when I was 11-13 and I seriously regret now that I’m older. I’m almost 15 and I wish that maybe if I didn’t see depressed kids talking shit about the meds then maybe instead of getting worse like I’ve been I’ve gotten progressively worse. I can honestly relate to almost everything. The mask, people telling me they can’t help, the wish to just..die. It’s hard, but I’ve been trying to keep a positive mental attitude. I’ve started doing things that make me feel better about myself. Ive been working out because that makes me happy. The burning of my muscles and everything is like a temporary relief from every thing it’s a healthy destraction from my destructive mind. Instead of thinking about killing myself I think about the amount of sit ups or jumping jacks I’m going to do or how many calories I’m burning with every cling arm crunch I do. It’s hard,but honestly if it wasn’t for Jack and his PMA thing this year wouldn’t be doing shit. I’d probably just sleep way more than I do now. Which would be a lot considering I sleep almost 12 hours anyway. It’s still hard to wake up and I need to go back to therapy,but for now I’m doing what I can to survive
My grandfather 2 days before his birthday 82 on december 7th died of lung cancer he never somked not once his husband (yes he was gay but was strait for like 7 decades) took him to the hospital when he had breathing issues he died days later oh my friends gpa died on christmas pf 2012 he literally waited for his grandson to leave the house before dieing so goddamn sad
Sometimes.....I wonder why I wake up. I wonder why Im here........I wonder why Im still here...... Someone who has never lost anyone doesnt understand what so many people go through. Think about it, you wake feeling happy, excited, and that it's going to be a *great* day..........but for some people, it's not like that......for some people.......all they think about is "Should I give up today?" "Should I stay in this world of sin and hatred ?" I always think about those two things.........but yet, Im still here, living, trying to put a smile on my face even if I have to fake........I try to make it a real smile. I try to not make the people that care for me worry.......I try not to use a mask to hide my true feelings....... but........ it sometimes doesnt work like that. Sometimes people think that just ending it all cures your pain.............it doesnt...........it doesnt work at all. All you do is make the people that cares about you feel lost, sad, upset...............And to be honest, I dont want that for them. So I keep fighting, I keep trying to make the best of it.........even if it's hard.....I try. And so should you😌 So please, keep trying..........
God this made me cry because this game speaks to me so much. And Jack showing that he cares for the broken people and us hurt fans. Thanks for being for us Jack.
Toasty Roaster I heard a quote somewhere, and although I don't know where it was from exactly or how it went entirely, it went something like: "That's the thing about broken people, we're like jigsaw pieces. We all fit together to make one big picture." I'm not sure how correct that was, but I hope that you know that there is always someone else who will help you, and there is a group of people you can fit into and help make a bigger picture. (Even if that picture is still a relatively small one, it's big enough to be significant to you and anyone else involved.)
This game just tugged at my heart. I haven’t felt sad like this for so long. I have been taught not to feel many emotion because it’s not important where I am. This, however, properly gave me the feels. Not just the small flicker of joy or sadness that lasts a couple seconds before I correct myself. Thank you for showing me how to feel sadness again.
LPS Sparkles its ALWAYS ok and many times necessary to show and EXPERIENCE your emotions, no matter what culture you're in or from! Emotions are human, HEALTHY things.
LPS Sparkles listen man ik im being Hippocratic when I say this but it is OK to show your feelings or tell your story it actually helps I personally hide my feelings but I have told my story and it helped
For my poem in my English class I did "we all hide something behind a mask...i hide pain, sadness...i keep reliving that moment...it hurts everytime...if only you knew...you'd have my back" I first made it when my boyfriend broke up with me and I found it hard to smile I never shared it till we had to make a poem in class my teacher said that he loves it and the feeling in it but now it's even harder to smile... My best friend is in the hospital he was hit by a train and lost his leg and my ex (the person that pushed me to make the poem) I'm not allowed to talk to anymore because his parents are being too protective so I'm just having a rlly rough time in my life...
Bubble Gum Cat I'm so sorry to hear about your situation! Don't forget that you always have this community to talk to and share with. Don't forget that we care about you and that Sean truly wants to spread happiness to each of us: that includes you. I hope you feel better soon and I'm glad your friend is alive after that train accident!
You are not alone, there are people out there that understand what you are going through and will help you! I really hope things go better in your life!
when i was really young, my brother took his own life. i always thought about how he left me, he didn’t think about how it would impact me, i thought he was selfish. i never really fully digested that that had happened until i was about 13, i ended up going to a mental health facility for 3 weeks and i’ve been in therapy since. i’m 17, my college is being almost completely paid for in scholarships and loans, i’m graduating high school in less than 5 months, and i’m planning on becoming an art teacher. i wrote my 4 year reflection for my school’s graduation requirement portfolio, and my closing line was, “I feel more ready now for the real world than I’ve ever felt before.” i feel like that’s really true. i feel like i’m gonna be okay. it’s stressful now and there are lots of people who are gonna try to bother me and get in my way, but i know i’ll come out of it okay.
Jack, you're just a guardian angel on earth. When I wake up and eating breakfast before I go to work I always watch a video of you. You're make me laugh and brighten up my day. Even If you always say that we don't need to thank you , I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for just being there. I am really proud of you and this community. Thank you.
Jack I am really really glad you are playing this game. It is a really important game and I am glad you talk about this subject. You always have a way of talking about this subject, making me feel better about myself. Thank you for being serious and just talking to us.
(had something to add hehe) PMA. To me is about not focusing on the bad stuff, but focus on the good :) Eks. No PMA: I feel horrible today, so I'm just gonna lock myself in my room all day and cry PMA: I feel horrible today, I'm gonna go do something that makes me feel better and effects me in a positive way, like talking to my friend... Does that make sense?
Kia With Unicorns and to help stay alive, always have a reason to live. no matter how stupid it sounds. it can be maybe your new season of a show you like isn't out or your the only one to feed your cat, no matter what reason believe it or make one. it helps
PMA is a mental curse that slowly tear you down, until you are a soulless yes-man, who neglects negativity and will force you to live inside your dream-bubble. Get Red Pilled
16:28 this had me in tears... of happiness that they were together again, and the sad agony tearing at my heart knowing that this happens to people, more people than I could ever imagine... Jack/Sean, thank you so much for addressing this problem, it hits close to home. You are such a wonderful person, God bless your kind heart, and thank you for bringing more awareness to these problems. I am in tears because you are such a kind, gentle person. Thank you Sean, love you
You hurt me. You broke me down. You never even tried to restore those pieces. You left me broken on the ground, shattered like fragments of glass. You left me daily and then came back. You reeled me in just to let me go again and make it hurt Just that much more. I'm depressed because of you. I'm stressed. Broken. Defeated. I'm suicidal and abused. All because of you. And yet... I hope you're doing well. I hope you're happy, That the new job you have is the perfect fit. I hope you've moved on though I couldn't. And I hope you still remember me. And all you did to me. Because I love you. And for some seriously fucked up reason, I think I always will.
It will get better. Focus on yourself. Find an outlet that you love, whether it be art, exercise, music, singing, anything. Even if you're not great at it now, pour your heart and soul into it, and as your skills grow, so will you. You will learn to be happy doing what you love, and you will learn to be happy with who you are as a person. I believe in you, and no matter how hard things get, you can fight through them. You deserve to be happy.
Rachael yes I've struggled for my whole life with depression, and these things are part of my everyday routine. They do help, but this poem isn't really about the whole of my depression, just an aspect of my life that I carry around no matter what, whether I'm experiencing an episode of depression or not. Thanks for the tips, though. They really do help.
The fact that 4 of the 5 endings lead to suicide of some form or other provides a telling example of a persons psychosis when they've lost someone dear to them. What I appreciate the developers doing is creating the one survival ending the way they did. It wasn't a cure all or happily ever after ending, it was the one choice you could (and should make) among the multiple darker ones. There's always that one gleam of light somewhere. Always.
You made a good point, I was on at least 20 antidepressants since I was about 7 and non of them worked, they actually made me worse... What tends to help me is distracting myself from the real world, I draw, I make videos here on TH-cam, I take care of my pets (6 tree frogs, 2 skinks, 1 toad, 1 nute, 1snail.) I have been dealing with depression since I was 4 or 5 but I was on meds since I was 7-16 and I'm now 18 gonna be 19 September 26... It gets really hard to deal with, but thank you for playing this and saying what you said. I postponed watching it until now bc I was going through a rough time, and I couldn't seem to find even 1 small thing to make me happy. I just wanted to say thank you again for making this, and thank you for being you. I hope you have nothing but good fortune in the future. ❤️
Thank you for fighting on even if its hard. Thank you for commenting and being part of the community. Thank you for sharing. You're loved by alot of people even if said people don't know you personally. ❤️
I ended up crying, I've known people who have sadly passed away but I didn't know one of so well but I knew him long enough to call him friend, when my brother found out he was heartbroken and his depression has gotten worse and fear that one day I find him gone. Thankfully he has been given the help he needs but I still fear for him.
The part at the clinic wasn't painting using pills as negative. It was saying that when you go through stuff like this and seek help the first thing the doctor tries to give you is pills instead of actually figuring out what's actually wrong(basically what's causing the depression or even the full details of the it)
I know someone who’s been through every pill on the market. He’s 27. He’s been depressed pretty much all of his life. He just now found a pill that sort of helps. The price, however, makes him even more depressed because of how much the medicine is even with insurance.
Kyng Esco Yes but this was like showing the girl the bird and going just have some meds. Not actually doing something to help and getting onto the level she was at. It's just an easy way out not actually doing something good. Yes it's good it'll help and all. But this was showing it as an easy option to get out of really helping.
tbh: sometimes it is reasonable to do so. because the pills help to get through to the patient suffering from depression. if not for the pills the talking wouldn't work either.
I just remember the moment that I gave up. I remember when I was so depressed. I remember when I tried to kill myself. Today I'm alive, and I'm so happy of it. My marks are there, but I'm alive.
Thank you for playing this Sean, I've had a rough couple of days where my depression and overthinking really has been hitting me hard, but seeing this and hearing you talk reminds me that I'm not always gonna feel this way, that there is a future out there waiting for me and that it's okay for me to let my guard down, I know I'm not the only one who's very thankful for everything you do to make us feel accepted and welcome but thank you again for always being here spreading positivity and support 💚
Sam Wood I know I should be going to the doctors as well but my anxiety and overthinking keeps me from actually going, but I'm glad you're reaching out and getting help, I wish you the best in the future
Jack has so much good in him. When he will have a child I already know that his child will be a wonderful, heartfull, loving, caring etc. person. This may get lost in the flood of comments but I hope you see this Jack, you taught me so much about being a good person in life than any person I know. I become who I am today because of you. It's awesome when my life was going to shit, I saw a notification from you and when I watched it I just felt all my pain went away. I wish I meet you someday Jack and I just want to give you a big ol' hug. Thank you Jack!
I agree with you 100%, you're absolutely right, I feel the same about Jack. That's a beautiful message. I hope and I'm sure that you'll meet Jack someday ❤
Pippin Lockwood I see what you did there. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Do you want Jack to die?!!! Cos Sean Bean dies in EVERYTHING.......👍😂 (And this is a joke, just to be clear. 😆)
I've never seen the join ending before, and when i saw it, i stated to cry. Well, my vision got foggy, but i didn't cry. 'Join' is the saddest thing i could hear about a story like this.... *Join...*
This really hits home. One of my friends committed suicide a little over a month ago and ever since then I've fallen into into of those "darker times." I also have anxiety and paranoia, which adds on to all the pain I'm already in, especially with my significant other being less communicative. Watching this really helped. Lately, I've thought a lot about giving up, cuz it's hard to feel that people care when everything around you come crashing down. This video really helped me feel like I wasn't alone.
I think the part about the doctor and the pills was depicturing how she felt about the doctor and the pills, and i think she felt like the doctor didn't understand her, and probably thought that it wouldnt help.
Ik u may never read this Jack, but I wanted you to know this... I wrote down several pages of quotes from that conversation at the end. I pasted them all over the walls of my room. And I plan to look at them everyday so it won't be as hard for me to keep going. You made this video on the right day, bc I was having second thoughts on continuing life. So basically, thank you Jack. Without you, I would probably be dead. And most likely a long time ago. I am so glad that I found your channel. Love you soooo much Jack 💜💜
I am sorry you feel this sad. Some of my friends feel the same as you. I tell you what I told them; keep living. Someone loves you, even if you don't know who. So keep trying.
It's so hard not to give up sometimes. Yesterday I was at my wit's end, and I nearly broke. I know I have to stay strong for the people who need me here, but sometimes it grows so powerful I lose sight of what's really important.
It's hard. It feels like it would be so easy to give in to that relentless pull. I hope you're doing better now, that you've found something to tether you here, something to hold on to. We only have this one life. I hope you chose to stay and that you continue to choose to stay.
The clinic part hit me really hard. I’m currently going through a divorce. So, not I’m not dealing with an actual physical death, but the death of the future I had in my mind with my children. Ive tried to go see therapists, but I can’t due to personal financial and insurance reasons. The mask cracking thing is exactly how I’m feeling right now. I have a mask on. I’m terrified. I’m sad. I’m worried all the time. I try to stay positive. It’s hard. I’ve fought through the suicidal thoughts (from when I was younger) and I’m not dealing with them now, but the whole idea of having to be “happy” all the time is draining/exhausting. Just know that there is life on the other side of your thoughts. I know. It may not be what you think it should be, but it can be amazing. I have learned that I am stronger than I thought I was. And, yes, I was on “happy pills” for a while. There is NOTHING wrong with that if you need it. Anyway, I’ve rambled enough. I hope everyone reading has a wonderful day. You are important. You are special. You will make it through this. I did and still am - for what it’s worth. Hang in there.
I am a child of a recent divorce and I just want you to know that your children will always love you. no matter what they will always love you. even if you find someone else or don't down the road they will always love you. don't doubt yourself or lose yourself. you just remember that you have to do this for your kids, you have to keep going for your kids. through the happiness and sadness they will be there for you and love you. and things will get better. that I can promise. you just have to get there.
Thats what my mom used to call em, "happy pills". All they did was make me feel like a mindless zombie. I'd walk around school wondering if it was still worth it. For along time I thought the pills wear supposed to make me tolerable to others, because when i was sad my mom would tell me i needed to take my pills.
Were all here for everyone , and im genuinely sorry for your situation , i know how that feels in most aspects , such as never knowing my father , my mom did heavy drugs, and i ended up getting adopted .... Im 23 and was married for 3 years before my ex wife cheated on me ....we all have problems ;but if you're willing to talk , im willing to listen
Thank you so much for these kind words. I am so sorry that you are going through this from your perspective. I can only imagine what you (and my kids) are going through, which is making this harder I think - because I can't relate. I can say, from the parental perspective though, that no matter what you feel about your parents at the moment, the same way you say that my children will always love me no matter what - it's the same about your parents. I'm sure they are doing what they believe is right for you. It may not seem like it all the time, but it's true. I'm here if you ever want to chat, hun. :)
My friend lost his dad and he was only 12...he lost his mask while playing his favorite game, fotball ⚽. Everyone in the class came to the fotball field and tried to help him. He is not depressed or angry anymore. He just went with it. (he did not kill himself by the way) his father got a heart attack while swimming.
I remember feeling so empty and remembering that life was like the for many people in the world. There were so many people that were there for me, that have been there to help me, but I simply ignored them, because I thought I had to fix myself to fix my own feelings. Ignoring people isn’t the way to fix your feelings or to help yourself. Sometimes you need the help of others to recover from your dying state.
There has been a lot going on in my life lately, and I really do feel like giving up. But I wont. I will never hit that give up button because even though crappy things happen, i will never give up. No one else should too. I understand it. Its not easy to keep living when your world has flipped upside down. But everyone who is struggling, I know its hard to think about, but it will get better. My favourite quote by Jack is one I live with every single day. "Everything will be alright.... Maybe not today.... Maybe not tomorrow.... But eventually...." And its true, it will get better. So all of you out there who are struggling, please dont give up. We are all in this together. We will all help each other get passed our pain. We are allowed to be sad, depressed, angry with what life throws at us, but dont throw away your potential, your life, your loved ones. It will all be okay. We're in this together.
I wrote you a poem, I hope you like it.. Endless rain And graying skies Perhaps the night seems unending But I hope you’ll take this umbrella To protect you from the rain
Jack, after seeing this video and hearing your speech I realize something.. I realize that, no matter how sad and depressed you are, suicidal is not always the answer.. I experienced depression before and even now, and I'm 14 yrs old, I was depressed because I always thought of my self that I'm the most useless guy on our family and even at other people... And I felt like nobody cared about me and nobody really needs me in my life, because first of all, when I'm sad, I mean so sad, nobody even my family approached me and talking to me until I feel better, so I just hide my sadness cause I think it will be better if I kept it from myself... But my depression gotten worse and worse and telling myself I wanted to suicide.. But after watching your videos and other youtuber's videos, I learned that we humans need to be strong, and if no one cared about you, someone will.. and, we humans, worth living... God support us, God is always here... We need to hold on and don't let go.. Life is short, so spread the good memories, God bless you all!!
Keep fighting, I can relate to hiding my sadness, I'm so used to being the 1 to hold my friends up that I tell myself if I fall, so will they...and I've gotten a bit better at opening up, but I've been going thru a tough time, I have wanted to commit suicide or hurt myself....but on April 27, 1 of my friends ran away. I later found out she ran away with a gun...2/3 weeks later, I found out that they finally found her....she was dead...and it's been really hard for me, but it made me realize just how badly it would hurt those around me if I were to follow down the same path. It's hard and I still cry about her, but it's getting better. U just gotta keep it head up and keep going, try to find someone u can open up to, it helps alot, and if u ever want to hurt urself, try drawing instead, that's a method that REALLY helps me and has kept me scar free.
May you have strength to continue living, and to give strength to others as well But you don’t have to bear the sadness alone, your family probably would support you if they knew you were going through tough times, so speak to them or even one of them because family is family and they really care about you
I've been depressed for years....and it's so hard finding the strength just to wake up. I hardly eat...and I struggle to stay awake throughout the day. I've lost so many people...so many friends and family. No one talks to me anymore...I'm just...so tired... I love this video. The soft tone of voice you used in this video was so respectful. I've seen other TH-camrs play this and they never took it seriously. You handled this well. I appreciate it. I love you Jack.
Just know you are not alone Jade. You are safe here and surrounded by people who care and want to help. Please keep trying... and maybe try to eat more...? I know it’s hard and I’m sure you’ve heard this time and time again but it’ll help with your depression and fatigue, even if you only eat a little more... Please keep fighting, you got this! (I can understand if you want to ignore cheesy words from a random person off the internet, I just wanted you to see them)
I can’t imagine how bad that would have to be to live through that. I’m no professional but I can tell you that if you had the strength to watch this video, that little spark to cling to life is there, and that honestly makes me feel better already. Get some help if you haven’t already, and look for people that inspire you. And if you don’t have anyone irl who does that for you, find inspiration in this video, or this comment, or others. I don’t know you, or anything about you. I never will. But know that people don’t like see others suffer. I wish I could do more for you, but for now, I’ll do what I can. I hope you get better🤗
Someone told me something really important before that really helped, he told me:
A person's heart is like a prison, inside the prison is a small version of ourselves.
We do not dare to let the little person inside our heart out, worried it will get into trouble.
Hence, the prison wall becomes thicker.
And the space inside the prison becomes smaller and smaller causing discomfort to the little person.
When the little person is upset, she/he will cry inside your heart.
You may not cry holding every emotion inside, but the little person is constantly bearing all these sad emotions.
If it hurts so much, let it out before you break and can't be fixed anymore.
Just think of Sayori from Doki Doki Literature Club
She was in a bad state of depression and always put on her 'Happy Mask'
@@blind.prada14 I never wanted to leave her hanging.
No pun intended
You might accidentally kill the little dood inside
@Alana Does Not Like Obsessive KPOP Stans sometimes that ability is very useful
Yes but people have hurt me before, I need to protect myself until I find somewhere, or someone, safe.

Oh thank god a comment that isnt extremely emotional
23:10 When he starts talking about his experience, the video cuts for an edit and his eyes are redder when it cuts back in like he was crying for a bit and cut it out. Good god my heart broke.
Same 😔 thankfully he's doing much better now
Kylee Maclean First of all, hello! I hope you’re doing well.
I’ve been Subscribed to the Channel since 2017 and, when the stress and burnout started to show, I felt an immediate concern for this Irish TH-camr whom I’d never met.
But I didn’t know the scope of how dark things had become for him until his 2017 New Year’s Eve Vlog.
Looking at this video in hindsight, it makes me even more emotional knowing that Seán was *so close* to telling us what he didn’t reveal until a year later (2019).
That, for a brief moment, Seán himself actually contemplated suicide.
I have a huge amount of respect for the boundaries Seán began putting in place for himself in 2019 and reiterated just recently during his Return Stream in August of 2020.
That said, I hope people will keep videos like this one in mind whenever they start going off the rails over silly things that mean fuck all at the end of the day:
Like hair color, beard length, a Paddy Cap, or even every series that Seán rightfully saw fit to retire.
What matters most is that Seán has found his balance between doing what he loves after almost eight years, interacting, in a *much healthier way,* with the Community and finding happiness in his personal life.
I wanna give him a hug
I actually noticed that
8:16 the moment Jack said "we're gonna survive" something clicked inside of me.
Thought I should just put this out there
*I live in the US and I think they need to improve their hotlines and cites for suicide help. I’ve called the hotline before and was left waiting for almost half an hour and on the site I was put on a very long waiting list. Others could not have the patience for that and decide to go through with whatever they had in mind before. It’s dangerous*
I use Crisis Textline but even that takes 3-10 minutes for a new text. That's WAY too long. So many times I'd given up on it or completely left the conversation.
Vivian Tapia same in kid's helpline Australia
Ah, it's even worse in Russia, don't worry ^^
It’s the same in Canada. I waited for an hour. An hour before I was disconnected. I didn’t even connect with someone, the app shut down. That’s bullshit..
im in New Zealand, and during one of the worst years of my life I called a suicide and counselling hotline. I waited almost an hour to talk to someone, and then when I finally got to talk to someone they said that I would be added to a *three month long* wait list to see a councilor (idk if im spelling this right). I never actually ended up talking to the person they set me up for. I gave up on that place and removed myself from their list. I haven't talked to a councilor, but one of my friends is helping me out, and things are getting better.
I just imagine myself meeting Sean in person, and the first thing I’ll think is *“I’m looking at the man who saved my life”*
You spelt seen wrong

I’m really serious Jack, thankyou so much for playing this
I’m actually going through the same thing as this character in the game
All my Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, Grandma, Grandad, best friend and Boyfriend died in a span of 4 days. I listened to you’re every word in this video. Thankyou.
Every day I feel like giving up
But I’m not like that
And
Thanks to you, I don’t want to give up
Even if I can’t take any more
Even if it gets worse
Even if I lose everything
I will never give up
Thanks to you and this video, I’m signing up for a place to talk about what happened
I’m reaching out because of you and so thank you so much for this inspiring message
I hope this helps others as much as it helped me and I hope people that have been through things like this will think they don’t need to leave this world because of something like that, they should live on knowing that their lost ones have moved on to a better place...
I really appreciate this video and will always keep this message in my head
I won’t live on because I forgot
I will live on because I remember
I won’t leave this world because I’ve lost them
I won’t give in
I will fight every second so I can be happy, remembering that they left me to fight and I will see them when it’s time
Thank you so much Jack
You are so inspiring and I really look up to you
And thanks to you, I will live on another day
Thanks to you, I won’t give in
Thanks to you, I will seek help

And I will keep fighting
All thanks to you ❤️

The fact that so many of your family members died in four days just traumatizes me that this kind of stuff happens so quickly... and some of us just can’t stop it..
Sorry if I reminded you about it.
8 in 4 days that is also known as the worst luck ever like if i had a girlfriend or friends or a brother i would probly just kms
@@Pvddai I agree, this is depressing in its own words and I would be devastated to have this happen to me.
I admire you. You are going through so much and are so much stronger than I am. I lose spirit through other people’s pain, not my own.
My best friend has 2 dying aunts, and she is holding onto her sanity by a string.
My other friend, who never knew his father, had his uncle as a father figure. His uncle died recently and my friend hasn’t attended school for a week.
I am very scared for both of them, and their grief is also my own.
i know it’s been a year, but i hope you’re doing okay. i know it’s not much, but i know that you deserve a place on this earth. stay strong 💕
This game speaks to me. Its like.. when you find that one song that speaks your every feeling. The art, the colours, the music. Omg, I’m in love
Wow, my own comment reminded me of American Psycho:
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark."
Amelia Says: true.
Yeah but still...you and this world always have a gruesome end which is you dying cuz every life dies!
Hugs scare me.
@@unkilled6014 it is the sad truth.. but its better to live life as long as you can so you can stay happy longer. :) (not that im disagreeing about the life coming to its end tho :T)
I always love it when Jack sits down and talks like this. He sounds genuine when it comes to topics like this and for some reason, I always feel calmer. Yesterday was a bit of a rough day for me emotionally, heck, everyday for last few months has been rough for me. The constant pressure to deliver on a specific video series, struggles with money, feeling under appreciated and like I'm just a tool for everyone to use and then toss aside when they're done with it.
Still, Jack's words did make me feel a little better. I'm gonna keep trying to do what I want in life, but constantly being knocked down and dragged through the mud does start to wear on you. I'm just hoping I can keep going.
NoobMister you will be able to keep going! Don’t give up!
Hey you belong and you are loved and the world is a better place for you being in it!!
NoobMister that is butiful and if any one hates on you just ignore them cause you are special
NoobMister TH-cam is in a shitty spot right now, smaller TH-camr just aren’t getting the views that a lot of them deserve. Your channel looks really interesting. Just please, please don’t ever give up. I know it sounds like I don’t understand but I do. If you need to talk please just message me or email me
NoobMister also *hugs*
I don't know if it was just the lighting, but at some points, it looked like Jack was going to cry. He's such a genuine guy and no matter where he is and where I am, I'm glad that someone cares. During the game, I was holding it in but when Jack switched to full screen and talked to the camera, it felt like he was actually here and talking to me and I started crying so hard and my headphones kept falling out because I'm laying down and my tears are going into my ears. Anyways, thanks Jack 💕 I've been trying to be strong. It's so hard. I wake up with nothing to look forward to, I sleep my life away because I just feel so tired. Yes, I have people there for me during the day, but when it's the end of the day and it's dark out and my light is out, it's just me and my thoughts. No one talks to me out of school and I just cry through the night, sometimes without even having reason to. It hurts, but I know it'll get better. Then, I find the strength to open TH-cam and start to drift off into another reality and I find myself not crying anymore and I'm smiling and laughing and it almost seems that everything is normal again. And TH-camrs like you just help me through, you guys are seriously heros. Without TH-cam, I don't know where I would be now and if id even be here.
Ruth-Ann400 I'm so sorry you've had to go through this alone, but people do care about you, and it's good to cry.. to get your feelings out, and if you ever need someone to talk to, I know I don't know you, but I'll be here😊 and yes watching jacksepticeye does make everything feel better and he definitely truly cares about all of us and I'm glad that he's helped you, and you just gotta keep your head high and get through each day, dont ever give up, please, I know it's hard but you are strong, you can do it💖
Gamer Girl05 Thank you, this means a lot 💕
Ruth-Ann400 you are important to the world and the people in it, stay strong and know that this community is here to help. I also find that TH-cam helps me forget about my problems and feel better.
Keep doing life and believe.
Ruth-Ann400 be strong! Thanks for your sharing, I hope you have a great day ahead... 😊😢
TH-cam can be the best place on earth at times. But sadly enough it's not really a place where you can really talk to people alone and meet them. I've seen so many nice people in youtube comments and just wish I could know them better/more. But that's not really a thing in youtube.
You're one of the reasons why I'm not dead yet....
Edit after a year: I’m okay I didn’t expect this much support I would’ve cried had I seen it sooner than now. I really appreciate it :)
Hope youre still here going strong @Lovely Song
Me too
We believe in you
U still here Lovely Song?
Hey I’m here for you
now i want to hug everyone in the community...
GROUP HUG!💗💗💗💗
Angry Snoopy :D

Yay hugs!
yay ^~^
I met this amazing girl last year on highschool. I noticed she liked the same kind of music as me since she kept looking at me when I was wearing merchandise of the band. One day, I went to the girl with one of my best friends. We talked for 20 minutes straight and she gave me her phone number so we could stay in contact. Months passed and we had become very good friends. I trusted her, she trusted me. I love her and she loves me.
But then in all went wrong. She told me she had been depressed for over 3 years now and that it was all caused because of the bullying on her elementary school. Lately she hadn't been feeling well and she kept feeling down more and more everyday. I send her a lot of messages telling her she was the prettiest, most kind, funny and amazing person I've ever met.
She thanked me, but it still wasn't over yet. She send me pictures that she made scratches on her arms with her locker key. Then, she started using scissors and went a little too far. She has scars on her arms now. Scars of the pain those bullies have caused her. Though, I told my teacher and he would take action. I was scared. Scared of being left behind by her because I told someone about her problems. She told me I was the only one who knew about it. That's why I became so scared. Another few weeks had passed and the teacher I told her problem to came up to me again. He told me she would get help at a clinic. A clinic especially designed for people with depression. After that I noticed things had gotten better. She used to wear long sleeved shirts to hide her scars, but nowadays she's only wearing short sleeved shirts. Not because of the weather, but because she has accepted the way she is. And that's great, I told her that she has to stay strong and that I would always be here for her. She can text me whenever she wants. Even at night. I'm always ready for whatever may come to me in the future. I'm happy again. She's happy again and I prevented her from committing suicide since she had thought about that a lot. Everything is fine now and so is she. She's my best friend and she will forever stay like that. I love her from the bottom of my heart and she deserves so much more happiness than she already has.
Thank you for the ones who took the time to read this. Leaving a nice comment would mean a lot to me and to her.
Edit: Thank you so so much for all the inspiring and supportive comments. It means a lot to me and definitely to my friend. I'm hoping that Jack will see this comment sometime. He really did inspire me to do this for her and that's why I left this comment on his video. That's why I also want to thank Jack! :)
Joëlla Fennema i’m proud of both of you! Keep it up!
Wow, bloody hell! Congratulation that’s quite a feat I wish you both to stay strong for a long while ❤️
Joëlla Fennema This deserves more likes.
Nurreh _ Thank you for the support!
Daniel Stretch Thank you! I'm sure we will. I will help her in any way to stay strong now and in the future
Speaking of depression and suicide.
I was planning to kill myself this year. Came out of a long relationship, didn't do well at school so jobs are hard to get, you know...the usual.
Then I found a girl who completely changed my life. I couldn't be happier. If someone had told me I'd have been this happy a few months ago, I'd have never believed them.
She made me like myself again, I'm working out, trying to get a job and save up money to rent my own place.
TH-cam has been really great too, everyone seems to be having fun doing what they like, which is amazing to watch and to relax to. Obviously its hard to make a living from it, but just seeing everyone enjoying themselves (for the most part) is really inspiring.
Sorry, I'm rambling, I just wanted to say that...with everything else in my life, you, Sean, have made a huge impact. I don't want to get too sad but, you've brought me some of my most happiest memories, cause I haven't had a good life (read into that what you will).
Idk how to finish these thoughts...so
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!! You mean a lot to so many people
P M A :)
Congratulations on staying in the land of the living. I’ve been there but things get better.
no one asked you to say that people say that often but its not true
I hope you the best never give up I know it’s hard I have been there but you can get throw never give up we are here for you💜💜
You are an amazing person. Good luck with all the things you do. It's cool you found your positive.
Liam Cahill congratulations man, I'm glad you came out of it.
I lost it at "Join"
Yup. Tears.
They won't stop 🤧😭😭
*Thank you for addressing so many struggles Jack.*
I'm currently scraping and clawing my way out of over a decade of severe clinical depression.
*Thank you for not belittling all of us who are fighting every day with whatever struggle.*
kaykay12152 u will find a way out I believe in u please don't give up
kaykay12152 You'll get there in the end. And even if your world doesn't look the same at the end of it all, it's okay. Things change, and they can get better from there on out. Good luck with over coming your depression, and good luck with your bright and well earned future.
I know it’s extremely hard to go through that on a day to day basis, and I know that it’s terrible, but I know you can do it! We all believe in you and you’ll get through this eventually. Just try to stick with things that make you happy. Be the best you can be and never stop trying. You. Can. Do. It.
You will get through it please don't give up, there are people that care
I feel the pain. I have very severe depression, and I don’t know what or why this is happening, but I’ve been having a lot more suicidal thoughts daily.
So I wanted to say, we can do this together my friend! If you want to talk about your day, I’m here!
The people who write these games are phenomenal. It's not easy to make and write these games. I wish more Triple A games discussed these topics.
insert original username here To give even more credit, this game was made in 48 hours.
insert original username here, The thing is you have to go through something like that to fully understand the way it feels, what you go through and so on. Its really difficult to creat a game or even a story about this tipe of topics if you yourself haven't gone through it yourself.
They did an amazing job with this game !
Yes they did. It gave me teary eyes. Hands down to the person who made this.
insert original username here Triple A games will never reach this level. Short games have a certain charm to them which are unique to themselves, just as Triple A games to themselves.
You can't make a hundred hours of content from a premise that gives an hour at best.
Jack, I don't know how to put in to words the appreciation I have for you.
I've been fighting for depression for years now, recently just had one of my lowest lows ever. It was also in this span of two or three days that I picked up a knife for the first time in years with the intention to start cutting again.
But as you said in this video, there's always a light. I found my light, and it made the depression seem...not sure how to word it, really, so let's say "normal." It gave me a new hope, and a new perspective to look from.
Part of the light was finding your Planet Coaster Videos, and being able to distract myself from myself with them.
Long story short, Jack, thank you. When you play these kinds of games it just reminds me of the years of fighting I've been doing, and it reminds me that I am much stronger than I give myself credit for.
To those of you who may need help, take it from someone who has attempted several times, the light is there. Keep Fighting. Keep Living. Keep Loving.
as someone who has heavily dealt with depression and loss and still does, I can say that this is decently accurate. I lost my best friend from suicide at age 8 and I'm still not over it at age 14. depression is something that messes with you so much that it becomes inbedded within you when you can't get help. I've personally attempted suicide many many times and I still have those very thoughts to this day. self harm is something that I've dealt with since I was 7. this kind of stuff is very real and it needs to become something that society needs to make normal. not something that make you seem "weird" or "insane" or "weak" for dealing with this type of stuff. I'm not too sure if this made sense but I hope it did.
*rip Bailey. you will forever be in our hearts. we miss you*
I'm so sorry you had to go through that at such a young age. or at all for that matter.. I hope the pain eases soon
i agree with the part were everyone else didn't look human i have had that happen to me so that i still recognize people but the feeling that came with it was gone and i don't see them as my mom or my brother
I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m just gonna say this please take my word for this: Please do not commit anything don’t commit suicide and don’t do anything bad to your body even in heaven you’ll really regret it so please don’t just don’t do anything Bad to your body even though this comment was posted a year ago and your age 14 to 15 don’t do anything bad you will really regret it please don’t😢😢😭😭😭
I hope he is watching over u and I and them want you to live on with those memories :)
I never realized since this point, how much Jack, and youtubers in general helped me grown as a person. I would be nowhere without them. Fortunately I don't have very big mental health problems, but I have some issues that not necessarily knows anybody. But the fact, that I watch youtubers for a few years now, who make me laugh or make me think about stuff, and courage me to keep going, is helped me a lot. And by that I mean a LOT. And not just that I feel like I got better, but I realize that I start to become the person who courages people to do the right things, or just the one who is try to be nice to everybody.. Back then I was the typical "I hate everybody cause they're dumb" kinda person. But is changed a lot.
I'm rambling, my English is really bad, and I don't even remember what I wanted to say... But I can thank a lot to a lot of youtubers. They are not just entertainers anymore. They have much more important roles in people's lives.
Little Riley, thank you so much for giving this message. I never realized how much I have grown thanks to people like Jack and the others. I never would have been able to write that myself, seeing as how I'm incredibly shy about expressing my feelings about certain topics, unless like in this circumstance where someone else expresses a similar idea. If I could ask you a favor, please continue to inspire people like me who are even too shy to write a TH-cam comment.
Little Riley I agree that you tubers aren't just intertainers but people who can change someone's life( I agree with you)
u hit the nail on the head. too true
I love reading long quotes thanks for this
With this comment u made a lot of people happy , youtubers who whant some actual possitive change in peoples lives try there darn best to help people. Its nice and beautifull to see that not just u , me , or the whole community have learned , felt , and got that sweet PMA . U are a BIG Riley ^.^
hey Jack.
you probably won't read this, but it's worth a try.
last year was literally the worst year of my life, so many people died in my past and in the worst of my times when i needed people to talk to all my friends left, including my Boyfriend who i was together with for quiet awhile, and who was the most important thing to me.
i've never been this alone, i celebrated my birthday, Christmas and new years eve alone in my room.
not even a single person texted me on those days.
half of my family is dead, and i have no contact to the other half.
i'm at a point where everyone i care about is gone, everyday i stay up early in the morning, i'm working the whole day and at the end of the day i go home take a shower watch 1-2 videos from you and go straight to bed then, just because knowing that i have no one to talk to is killing me.
and i was really close to giving up many times, i still am..
and this may sound weird but you were basically the only consistence in my life, nothing really helped me except you, watching your video and seeing how much fun you have just by playing some games made me forget about some bad thoughts.
and i just want to thank you for that, you’re doing more than you think with those videos, and watching you always helps me to „turn my head off“ for a little while.
soo yeah.. really jack thank you so much. x
Sina Rde Bless you and stay strong! Im not in the position to say but i hope your life can go in a positive direction. Pma!
thank you!!
hey! we're with you! i mean ALL of us are so, stay with us!! >^
Sina Rde I relate, it's okay
Sina Rde everything will end up ok in the end i understand your case i was a accident my mom abused me when i was a kid and i moved out when i was 14 because my parents were divorced, they divorced cause of me and so i caused there divorce, i had over 15 people die last year from either car accidents to cancer and my girlfriend moved away to michigan across the US and i thought that was bad but i didn't know till 2 weeks later that she died in a car accident and i was broken, I've never had a birthday party and i separate myself from the rest of my family and hide in my room all the time i understand how you feel but know that it can always get worse amd that even with what your going through/ went through you still are lucky you have a phone you got a place to live you got food and water while there's other people that don't have anything stay strong
Is Jack not the sweetest . He also has the best most amazing community ever . Much happiness every one
scarwee
Yeah! Spread the PMA!!
You’re totally right ! His community is the best !🙂
I hope you’ve had / you will have an amazing day !
Pma everyone !💚
Erica Hedgepeth
I know right! there's nothing else i love more than Jack and being here right now, this community. its changed Me a lot as a person and it's helped me through alot. it really Makes me feel like people care and I always feel less Alone whenever I'm here.
So huge Thanks to Jack and all of you!
Love you guys! ❤
Shadow Wolf 101 I feel the exact same way has you !
I’m not afraid anymore to express myself in the comment section because everyone is so nice to me and to everyone and i think that it is the most beautiful thing 🙂
I like how jack can change the point of view of a lot of person and change them in a good way !
Good luck with everything in the futur !💚
Watching in 2019...just gotta say the ending message from Sean made me breakdown because it was a little bit of light for me to feel...
Kilee Barker we are all here for you. We love you. We care about you. No one should suffer like this. I still suffer, but for everyone that's suffering with us, let's be each other's lights.
❤❤❤❤
a person across the world is thinking of you, never give up. There is always a light inside of you, even if you can't find it dark. please hold on
I just found out ya’ll answered me and 😭😭😭
Same...
Except I'm watching in 2021
The art in the game was beautiful, absolutely. I had a problem when they portrayed all clinics/therapists as people who are against you. Not all therapists keep a mouthful of secrets. Some genuinely can help, some are really nice. I had a therapist (not for depression) and he was one of the best, nicest people I have ever met. He was very understanding and really helped me get through hard times. Not everybody is against you, or are there just for money. Good wishes to all who read this!
Aqua Angel you are right. of course. but some kinds of depression come with the thoughts of "nobody understands me" and "everybody is against me" especially those that end or could end with suicide. After all: as long as there is still hope someone or something could help you don't end your life (at least not because of depression). And I think the game tried to show that, to make the player feel that. But that is just my interpretation, could be wrong.
Carmen I agree
i think he might realise that but i think he said that because it is what the character sees it as. no het towards you, im just trying to say that i know jack wouldnt mean anything like that towards therapists or anyone like that, have a good one
Aqua Angel I know I had to have therapy for depression and suicidal/self-harm tendencies and he was the nicest person I've ever met, who helped and the ultimate goal was to make sure I never had to come back because I'd be better, but they are there to help, if you need it there's no shame in asking
TheTrueLlamacorn I agree. but also. I think the game was just trying to make the player, and in this case, the viewers look and feel how a person going through depression is. I think that you are 100% correct though. Not all therapists are out to get you. and I am so sorry to hear about that. I had my fill of depression but my family is slowly helping pull me out of it. I wish you the best and if you need anyone to talk to just let me, or anyone know. I'm sure we will be fine with it :)
Never a commenter, but this was important to me. It meant the world to me that Jack critiqued this game. Having grown up with depression, anxiety, and ptsd and growing up with a mother who suffered from those as well, this game didn't sit with me well. Just as Jack said, the way this game portrayed medication and mental health professionals was a rude cliche that sours me every time I see it. I owe my life to the doctors who took the time to care and to the experts who looked into and crafted the meds that try to help bring mental suffering down. Meds may not totally "fix" your mental health problems, but goddamn can they build you a foundation to work on when you're sinking into nothing.
Another critique I personally have was with the "Join" ending. Another incredibly toxic cliche. That ending could've been portrayed immensely better. Perhaps when you clicked "Give In" the next slide showed her funeral where her family are now mourning. Instead the creator gave it a cute little slide with some ghosties holding hands. It's not like that though. It's not a glorious reunion. You've killed yourself, due to immense pain. It's not cute. It's a tragedy. It's heartbreaking.
My grandmother died a year and a month ago. My mom and I were so close to her. We watched her die. It still breaks my heart. My mom still cries. Growing up with the fear that I might not wake up with my mother was awful, and my grandma's passing made it so much more terrifying. Thinking that my mom might one day be so miserable that she would kill herself, it kills me. Suicide isn't cute.
Apologies for the paragraph, this just really hit me in a way and I needed to talk about it in a public forum I guess. If you read this, thank you! And if you see this then thank you so much for what you do and why you do it, Jack.
preach!
AJ4106 I know I'm not Jack, but all I can say is that I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're fighting, and I'm also sorry. I'm sorry that you went through all those things that made you understand how terrible life truly can be, but you're still going. And that's amazing. Thank you for carrying on even through the pain, and I wish you good luck for your future.
Yes I agree that it was a tough game to get through, and that Sean did an amazing job talking and discussing it. And though things seem like they’ll never change or get better, they will, but only if you keep trying your best to be a better person and get out of this hole. We all believe that you can do it! And I’m glad you at least put it out there so people can support you. And don’t worry, we’re always here! This is the best community I have ever seen on the internet and I hope it never changes, or if it does that it will only get better. We are all here for you, you can do it! You can change things for the better! Just believe you can and don’t stop trying! Don’t be afraid of failure if it doesn’t always work. And don’t keep your feelings bottled up inside, it’ll only make things worse. Like Sean said, talk to somebody, you seem close to your mom try to talk to her. I’m sorry if this didn’t help you much but I tried my best. I hope the best for you and that things get better.
AJ4106 yeah idk if the developers were going for an outside pov or the literal pov of someone depressed. And some people do see that as what would happen but it isnt. People will always miss those who become lost

"Just hang in there. You're doing great. We're all very proud of you and we're all here for you as well."
I needed to hear that
Brittany Nicole 💞💞💞
Me too
*"Go seek professional help"*
Is what everyone that said me.
*"Talk to your parents to get medical treatment to help you"*
Is what they said.
But.. What would you do if you're still too young to go seek professional help? Your parents? What If they don't believe anything you said?
I've been through this a lot, I know I should seek help, but what should you do if no one believes you?
My parents think I'm just saying bullcrap that I saw in the Internet. But I've had depression and anxiety way before I knew it was a serious thing.
I tried to talk this about my friends, but they don't know anything about mental illness. And when I explained to them they don't even care just one sentence and left.
In the end I found friends that been through these things.. My closer friends, comments, youtubers, etc. And that gave me courage to fight through the darkness times because..
*"You're not alone."*
Everyone been through those times, which is fine! Some won, some loss, but that's okay. Because as day passes I can promise you.
*"You'll find a light to survive."*
Whether it's a person, a book, a popstar, or even youtubers!
Sure, good things come to an end, but so do bad things.
So just stay strong.
I'm here if you wanna talk
If you ever need anything I'm here for you
I’m glad you got through those hard times, stay strong friend!
i don't think my parents would believe me either. i have self harm and depression issues but noone knows about it i like to keep it to myself usually because i feel like noone would care and would probably make my depression worse
Lets be friends. Im a pre teen and I felt the same way, I was always trying to find my voice and tell people that young kids can have depression and anxiety too and that professional help is hard to get but people overlook this. Thanks for being my voice, this comment is unpopular but you made me feel not alone. Thank you
I'm not crying, you're crying. And you're crying. And you're crying. And now I'm crying, too. Though this game is short and sweet, I can't say I didn't love the playtime and the followup conversation.
I actually smiled and had a tear roll down my cheek as I heard "you're doing great. we're all proud of you." That's something that I feel people don't hear enough of in life. We're always striving to achieve, but even if you come close and fail, it's still something to be proud of, because there's plenty of people out there who are happy to see you try. And who knows, maybe by just trying your best at the things you do, you'll inspire someone to try just as hard at something, too.
SaiyanAlchemist2 nest and most influential comment I've read yet. Amazing attitude. Stay alive friend.
I'm sobbing haha!
Jacksepticeye, I just wanted to tell you thank you. I am an US veteran and I've lost my wife almost 4 years ago while I was attending my last year at a college after service. Since then, I've been working jobs left and right trying to forget the pain as I thought it was responsibility of mine as a veteran to stay strong and show fortitude to kids who are looking up to me. I finally broke down 6 month ago, I had to quit my job and avoided everyone in my life in complete solitude hoping that things will get better. I didn't want to show my weak side to everyone who has looked up to me as a veteran, but things are keep getting worse, sinking with no bottom. I began to lose all hopes of better tomorrow and lose all of courage to live on. Right after watching this video, I've reached out to VA for help, and I am setting up counseling tomorrow. Thank you again from bottom of my heart for giving me a courage I needed to take step toward right direction.
I don't know if this will mean much coming from a stranger, but I believe in you. You can do this!
I'm so glad you've sought help and I'm proud of you for making it this far. You're stronger than you know (I know that sounds cliche, but it's true). I wish you nothing but the best.
Some think that asking for help, even as a veteran, is a sign of weakness. It takes someone with immense strength and a hope for things to get better to admit that things aren't okay.
I'm not a veteran, but I've seen what its like to be at a dark place and feel like its not even worth trying to be happy again.
I hope for the best for you. And know that getting help is an immense step to recovery, and you are doing right by millions of others by getting help. It can and will get better.
Best of luck, friend.
Theodore Park We're all proud of you. I hope you're feeling as best as you can as soon as you can, good luck. :)
Theodore Park like and comment on my recent bo3 vid would be very appreciated
this made me remember the first time i talked to a professional about my "demons" i didnt say too much but im still so proud that i got to atleast bring it up with our guidance counselor
We are all so proud of you as well! I'm so glad you found the energy and the strength to talk about it. Never give up, and know that there are always people, even random strangers, who care about you. ❤
You should be proud 👍😊👌
thank you guys for the support! it really means a lot, also back to school is coming in about a week or so for me and i'll try to speak up more this year, again thank you!
I am suffering with suicidal thoughts im failing my grades because of it, my parents dont know it, nobody does, im scared to tell anyone, so this kinda helped thx jack, ur vids always help, the only person I could posibly trust is u Sean and I dont evn know u very well...
There's always someone out there for you. :)
Jack Boyne unfortunately not everybody has someone to go to. Someone who trusts them.
Dragon Queen hopefully you get better. Try to see the good in the world. I don’t have much more advice than that I’m afraid, as I’m going through depression myself.
Streak the Indoraptor i had trouble telling my parents to because i couldn’t trust them enough to take it seriously.
so i talked to my friends and i told one of my closest teachers and she helped me so much. tell someone you trust and talk it out with them. even if it goes on for hours and hours, just talk to somone. do things that make you happy.
for me it was listening to music, playing sport or watching funny videos.
idc if you’re a stranger to me, i’ll even talk to you.
just keep going.
2 years ago I was stuck in a similar boat. I don't know what situation has lead up to this, I don't know you or your backstory.
But please do know that I care. It's how I am. I care for total strangers.
There is nothing I personally can do to help you, as again I do not personally know you. All I can say in this moment is that I hope things get easier for you.
I cried silent tears when Jack was talking at the end of the video. You are a great person, Jack. Thank you for this nice message.
I agree 💯 percent
Same here, I’m currently low key crying. Sean is a true pure soul.
Just as I was watching this my boyfriend texted me about how shitty of a day at work he’s having. I talked to him for a bit and he seemed to really cheer up. I’m so happy we have each other for support and love. Relationships aren’t about being “romantic” or some other bullshit, it’s about making each other better, happier people. Before I met him I’ve been trying to beat depression for a year and I was looking for that final push to become truly happy. He helped me find myself and realize I’m not just an addition to my family or friends, I’m my own person, I deserve love and support and a special bond with someone. I never expected this out of a relationship and all I do now is motivated by my own choices, not what I think I should do. This lets me reflect on the worst times in my life and realize how far I’ve come. Everyone going through bad times now I support you and urge you to find what you need in life now.
Awwww! I'm so happy for you guys!!!
Jason Lee thanks!
Malgosia Milczewska that kind of is romantic
No hate though
Nwakif 35 You’re right but I meant the “you have to give chocolate and flowers on Valentine’s Day” kind of romantic, meaningless stuff that people force just because of stereotypes etc
Jack: Why is my eye stinging?
Me: it’s the tears
Lettuce Tree that's what i was thinking
Lettuce Tree yep
What i thought
That’s what I thought
Lettuce Tree exactly what I said
❤ Dont fall in love with your sadness. Let it be something you kick out in the morning ❤
Its kinda hard to
There was a time when I found sadness to be my friend because it always stuck around with me, it was there for me. Maybe it thought happiness was an illness out to get me, because I found out that I had felt pretty much the same until I realized that something wasnt right, a song that I heard on a speedpaint (I used to watch those a lot) and some of the words just kinda said something to me like.. "Heyy you havent noticed your friend over there? Its been trying to talk to you and befriend you for a long time and you havent even noticed it was there! Go on kiddo, go say hi!" like a parent telling you to say hi to your cousin or something. I then figured that happiness was just out to get me, sadness was there to protect me without realizing who may have been doing the real damage..
How?
It glues me to my bed.
You don’t have to let sadness completely out of your life. If I let myself feel anything but sad every once in a while, o would become a toxic person who’s temper is short. If I didn’t cry when my grandad committed suicide, I would have fucking killed myself too for not being able to properly grieve someone I care about. Sadness and happiness are needed in tolerable quantities. People that are cheerful 24/7 and don’t talk about their emotions generally become the ones who are the most depressed.
Ngaio Dekker do you understand anything about depression?
Hey jack, you should play He Beat Her. It deals with domestic abuse issues and such. It’s kinda similar to this, and it’s really powerful.
Havoc I think he should play it as well
He would give good advice
I'm pretty sure that it was the same artist that made both games! She's amazing :3 (sorry if my english isn't good, is not my first language ;-;)
@Lola You're doing great, hon, that sentence was perfect. ^^
Lola your English is good, don't worry!
that's a great idea tbh
This game was something that meant a lot to me when I played it, because for the past couple months, I’ve been in a very bad place, mentally. It was only until very recently when I was able to finally gather up the courage to ask my mom to let me go see a therapist. Part of the reason I was able to ask for help was because of Jack and the community.
But anyway, onto the game.
I got a very specific message from this game, but I don’t think I would have gotten the same message if I had played this game differently. When I played this, I missed the fridge the first several tries, and because of this, I wasn’t able to go to swains lane, and I didn’t even know that there was another place you could go. So I wandered through the game, and after only reaching endings where she died, I started to question if there WAS a “good” ending. But after several tries I was finally able to get to the ending where I had the option to survive. And that’s when I got my version of the message the game was trying to send. That even when it seems like no matter what you do, there’s only one outcome, that’s not true. There’s always something you haven’t tried. There’s always a path you haven’t thought of. There’s always something or someone out there to help you get through this, even if you haven’t found it yet.
Yess! This makes me so happy.
J BlueWolf we're there for you all the time😊 thanks,this touched me❤
Well done for being so brave :)
This is beautiful it makes me really happy!
We are stronger together, you are not alone.
I know that feeling, the only thing that one can do it's just ask himself *"Why this happened, why i couldn't do anything?"* , i really wish that nobody had to live something like that, to tell goodbye to a parent, a friend or some other loved one.
Thanks for this Jack, i'm sure this means a lot to everyone, it means a lot to me.
Zevastian 1991 I know people will say this a lot to you, and probably already have, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry you felt that way or even still feel that way, and I'm sorry about anything that has happened to make you feel that way. But you're here, and you're doing okay. Maybe not great, but you're here. And that means there's still hope. Thank you for sticking around with us.
Josie Russell thanks for the kind words, this community it's like a family to me, and it's so nice how everyone help each other.
Thank you so much.
Zevastian 1991 No problem. I just want to try and help those I can, because even though I may not know all of you personally, I still feel like we need to stick together and give a family to those who maybe don't have one.
Really, I just felt dead, when he left, for some reason.
I know that feeling too
"Just hang in there, you're doing great. We're all very proud of you."
I.... Really needed that. I didn't realize how much I needed that until I heard it. I didn't know just how much I needed to hear someone I look up to me tell me to hang in there, I'm doing great, and that he's very proud of me. I didn't know.
I know it shouldn't mean as much to me as it does, but watching this channel really helps me keep going. It's helped me try to be more positive, it's helped me feel more comfortable with sharing how much pain I'm in with people that can help.
I know I've said this many times before, but I'll say it again.
This man is the best man to ever live.
He understands how it feels to be in a dark place, and he wants to provide kindness and support for those who find themselves in need of it. He has so much fame, so much influence, and he's using it to better the world. He's not using it to his own advantage or his own personal gain, he's using it to help others. He's using the influence he has to make others happy. He gives so many people a reason to keep going, a reason to keep living. He gives ME a reason to keep going, to keep living. He makes me want to follow in his footsteps, to help make others happy. And I'm trying to get there, one step at a time. He always wants to show just how much he cares, and just how good things can be in life if you just keep going. He inspires me, he inspires US ALL. He's just such a wonderful, kind, caring, loving, and all-around amazing human being. He addresses these serious topics, and in such a good way at that. He understands. He cares. He listens.
He's what I want to be.
He's what makes me happy.
He's why I keep living.
To the people who go through this stuff on a daily basis. Just hold on, life may seem like it only gets worse but hold on to the good and let the bad wash over you. I know a lot of people can’t just do that. And I’ve been there many times but take it from me when I say keep holding on. Things will get better, it may take some time but it will. Even if you think that it’s only gonna get worse, and most likely it will. But keep pushing through, I was there too. Thinking it only gets worse and worse. But then things changed. I met people that care about me majorly. People that have saved me from suicide on 5 occasions, I went through the better half of my life hiding from the real world. My own family didn’t know what was going on with me. But I pushed through. I kept holding on and worked on keeping the good and letting the bad wash over. And it worked most days but sometimes it didn’t. Still, I pushed through for 5 years before things got better. And now I’m happy. I’m a better person then I was before. I’ve grown as a person, I’ve become more social. So please when you think everything is crap... hold on to the truth. There’s always people there who want you to be there with them. Talk to them, talk to the people you trust. And in time things will get better
Moosey 1110 💙
Moosey 1110 thanks for the tips
I'm living proof that it gets better. When you're at a very dark place those words don't help at all, I know. I was depressed for 5 years. I tried to commit suicide once, and was self harming for all those years. I've been "clean" for one year now, and I'm so happy I didn't give in. What kept me here was my family ❤
Never ever give up! Seek help, even though it's hard. It WILL get better! I promise you ❤
What if there is no one you trust
Moosey 1110 thx that helps alot
I thought I wasn't going to cry this time.
I was wrong.
same m8
Yeah when he was playing the game i was not even emotional (i was kinda mad tbh) then he talked about it and i started sobbing so thx
PhoenixAera - same
PhoenixAera - its ok bud its ok
Even Jack was at the edge of crying
My depression is a chemial imbalance thing! It's been a great help and I rarely cry for no reason anymore. I totally agree with what Jack is saying. He's such a good person.
papa elf I feel ya. If I don't have my Lexapro and Welbutrin(?) I'd be more of a mess than I already am.
Depression is linked to evolutionary thought. If your depressed - evolution is telling you to do something physically or spiritually. There are no cheat sheets in brain synapses
Same here
How did you deal with depression?
Good to know that stuff does help some people. I have been trying a lot of different medicine but they never worked for me. But my problem wasn't that I cry a lot, I can't remember when I actualy felt something happy or sad. Although, after 7 years I've recently gotten a new 'label'. Does Autism therapy help remembering how to feel happy? (No need to be worried though, I'm being watched all the time so guess I won't be leaving just yet! See, the happy mask still works online)
16:51
Also, when he talked about the therapy aspect of the game, I think the developer was trying to show how the patient sees it. How the patient's perception is twisted.
I personally went through major depression. I attempted suicide which was the worst mistake of my life. I was being bullied and I was mentally unable to take it. When my parents took me to the phsyciatrists I was skeptical about it but after receiving so much moral support from friends, family, and others too, I started to see that life is so much more than survival and that it is so worth living. I am now on my way to a career in the Canadian army and I haven't been happier. Even though I still get depressed sometimes (because im still bullied) I continue to keep my head high and know that I have a purpose in this world and it's greater than just existing.
Jack, you couldn't be more right
Nicholas Thompson I know it's kind of weird but I'm happy that you're happy! Heck I don't even know you yet I'm proud and happy that you made it trough that difficult time! I hope you have a wonderful life, good sir! And remember to always keep your head high!
Nicholas Thompson Good job! You do the right thing! Never forget that you are not alone, and I wish you the best.
Nicholas Thompson We are all so proud of how strong you have been. Just know that you are never alone. We are all here, even though we’re just random strangers, waiting and ready to help you. Keep fighting and those bullies will eventually realise that they’re just jealous that you have what they don’t. You can do this! You will get though it 🙂
ive never felt this... loved
thank you so much for this guys
Nicholas Thompson just tryna make some people here smile :) I’m so glad we could help, even just a little! I find that helping others can act as a kind of therapy for me
I am not sad, depressed, and or suicidel, but I still think that you are spreading the right words and being a good guy. So I just wanted to say you are doing the right thing and you should keep it up.
The amount of times I've said: "You make me happy" to my Doggo is innumerable.
Same
John Cena that’s a pretty detailed death wish.
Just now re-watching this...I realize that many people around me think that I happy... But I'm really not. When I started to watch you Jack everything changed. I was happy. I smiled for real. No fake smiles. No cuts. No terrible thoughts. I felt stronger. I was so upset after my pop died. I have moved a lot in my life and I haven't got anytime with my family. I so happy that I still have you, Jack. You've changed my life so much. I'm so thankful that you haven't left yet. My whole family left me. Sorry if this is really long or a huge rant its just what Jack said made me more open and better about telling people about how I feel.
I'm really really sorry. No one deserves to go through what you have gone through l. But you still have us, and don't ever forget that. Please stay strong✌️👍❤️
Videos like this give me mixed feelings: I have considered suicide and self harm several times before, looking at both the pro's and con's, trying to logic my way through it. No one knows that I have felt like that, gonna keep it that way too, and I don't think it was depression. Watching these things reminds me of how many times I would find a quiet corner, sharp thing in hand, wondering what would happen if I pressed just a little harder... and all the times I chickened out and went back to scratching and biting. But watching these also reminds me that, if I had pushed a little harder, I probably would have never stopped pushing. I would never be writing this dumb comment. And I would never have been here long enough to meet my baby sister. I won't end this with a super sappy speech about 'how my life has been transformed thanks to this one video!' I am just gonna end with a simple, thank you.
Edit: Fuck, I didn't think anyone would see this! I am surprised to say the least...
Thanks for this comment. I went trough some similar things. I'm happy to know that I'm not alone! Also you're awesome for being brave enough to put your story here. Just simply thank you! 😎
So brave and awesome 💜💜
Not brave, just a combination of no sleep, a sugar low and 30 seconds of blind confidence.
I appreciate your brave and being able to talk about your problems in the comments section. I want you to know that you are not alone and I know this sound cheesy, but things WILL get better. All you have to do is understand what you are going through and work to fix it. That can be Through anything, whether it's therapy or art or music or even TH-cam. Just know that I am proud of you, of ALL of you! And thank you for still being here. 💚💚💚
You know what, me too. Thank you.
I’m glad you played this, Sean. It’s nice to see TH-camrs play games that deals with heavy topics, it makes it where people that watch the video of the games open up about it more to the people that care about them. It also makes it where those people know that people care about them and the issue that they are having and don’t share. These kinds of videos and games help a lot of people, Sean, and I’m glad you are one of those people helping.
Man I hate these cheesy comments
*cough cough ddlc cough cough *
GirlGaming1324 I love this comment because its true. Watching Sean watch this made me feel how he was feeling. You can tell at the end he was trying not to cry, he was relating to it. Seeing him sad literally made me tear up.
John Cena wth dude! If you don't like his videos, just go! Don't post shit comments, geez 😒
GirlGaming1324 very heavy topics nicely said girlgamer1234
Well, this hits home. I enjoy this game for what it is, and I've seen it a few times now. However, watching this now on June 2, it hits home. Yesterday, on June 1, I found out that the night of May 31 we lost a good young man that we work with. He was only 19 years old, and today is his birthday; would have been 20. He was a sweet soul - a great coworker, supervisor, and friend to all of us that worked with him. Anthony, may you rest in God's arms. We love and miss you.
I’m praying for Anthony’s family and loved ones right now. It’s so saddening to see a kind undeserving soul be gone, especially if they take part in your life every day. This is the time for you and your coworkers to work on your PMA, as Jack would say. Praying for his loved ones ❤️
Thank you, Bethany. God bless yours and you. We will keep that PMA.
How sad, I'm sorry for your loss.
I'll carry him and his family in my thoughts today. 🙏
Thank you, Shannon. God bless yours and you!
angela he's art is literally amazing, all of her games are actually amazing. her games always really hit whether its about sickness or suicide. thank you sean, for showing your base real things that can happen and helping peoples lives.
I love it when he addresses this stuff.. it means so much to people including myself (though I do not feel the way shown in this game) PMA is one of the best things that happened to me and a lot of others I would believe.
Edit: here’s some extra love 💚💚💚💚
You have the right mindset. Please do me a favor and continue to inspire people like you and I, who may be afraid to write a comment about how they feel.
💚💚💚💚
You know that pma is a universally debunked idea from the latter half of the 20th century right? Sean just adopted the name with absolutely no idea what it meant.
I want to put in a note as well.
Sometimes for some people suffering, they don't know that they're suffering until something happens that makes them realize what they're going through.
For me, I had an incident happen in the eighth grade that spiked my depression to an extreme. I didn't know I had it until that incident happened. I've been living with my depression for about four almost five years now. I was surrounded by toxicity that made me hate myself and made me do things to my body that made people hate me even more.
But up until this 2017-2018 school year, I had felt like complete crap and I faked that I was okay because I didn't want anyone to worry. When that school year started for me, I met the most amazing people that made me feel like I wasn't alone, that I was happy once again. I was laughing more, I was socializing much more, I was truly happy.
These people that I've met are my second family, and I've told them many times that I wouldn't trade them for anything.
For anyone who's going through something similar or something completely different, PLEASE know that you are NOT alone. There are people in the world that love you and want you to stay in this world. Don't cut, don't overdose, don't starve yourself, don't abuse your body thinking that you'll be better if you do, don't harm yourself. You are loved, you are beautiful, everyone loves you.
The days may get dark, the days may seem lonelier than ever, but you will meet people that'll feel like home to you, and by god I hope you keep them close if they truly make you happy.
And even if I haven't met you, know that I love you. I am proud of you. I want you to keep going.
❤️
Corray Music thank you,family
van I call you that?
thank you, that means a lot
Corray Music I knew that I hated my life before this, and I had many suicidal thoughts, and watching the end of this video yesterday made me cry because I felt comforted, even though I could never tell anyone. I don't want to, but I can tell strangers anytime, because I don't know them, people poke fun at me for my personality and weight among other things. I tried not to care, because, like this game, I didn't want anyone to know, that I was sad, I just put on a façade and hope that I fool everyone. But I can't live like this. The world to me is like one giant abusive relationship aimed at me. But I won't kill myself, I have too much live for, and it's not the jerks that make fun of me. I'll try to start telling some friends, but thank you for that inspiration, keep going. I will too.
Your comment made me cry. I've put myself through many of the things you've listed without realizing what I was doing. Thank you, I am going to seek professional help.
its those last few words "hang in there" that got me.
I related so much to this game because when my grandfather passed, I lost a huge chunk of my life, someone that kept me afloat, someone that was like my best friend. When he passed, I spiraled out of control because I felt like I had no one anymore. How wrong could've i possibly been when this year life finally started turning around and going my way. But still, theres small episodes, and that cat, thats my girlfriend on a daily basis, supporting me and being there for me, while I try my best to do the same.
I basically wanted to put this out there to say to people, it does get better. It just takes time.
peterick._.child I just want to say/type that no matter how you look, gender, age, where you come from or what you do... You matter. No matter what other people say. You are not alone in this big wide world. You can always find someone to talk to! There is approximately trillion++ (I am not good with math) people in the world and you will find someone to talk too. Sometimes, you shouldn't keep everything to yourself, (except if it's about food) Sometimes, you need to let it all out to feel better. And for the love of God(s)! Don't hurt yourself! It's not good AT ALL! Every life matter. God give you a life for a reason, so don't go around throwing away your life! You must find that reason and live a happy life! Who cares about what people think about you! You are yourself and you have you own opinion. So, why bother go around and satisfy other people? We are special in our own way! Weird? No problem me too! Nobody is perfect in this world but we all have our own talent and special in our own way! Some people might look at you and see only your faults, but your true friends are those who can look past that and still accept your true nature. Some people don't cry because they want to seem strong but you know, people cry because they have gone through so much they can't handle it anymore but they don't give up. That's what's strong really is. Sometime you just need to let it all out. There will always someone that can listen to your story. And remember, we're all friends here and if you need a friend, you can always talk to me. PMA! - Hayame Michiko
peterick._.child we are here for you
thanks, you honestly made me cry a little cause you summed up exactly how I've felt. again, thank you
The other night I had a dream where literally everyone I cared about suddenly hated me and it was eerily realistic so I thought it wasn't a dream even after I woke up. In my dream my crush was the last person I talked to and then he told me I was the main reason that he was gonna do what he was about to do and then he killed himself and it looked so real.. I was so scared... Imagine watching ur crush kill themselves and say that ur the reason why. Imagine thinking it's real. Imagine seeing it in graphic detail. Then imagine waking up alone. And imagine thinking that it wasn't a dream in the first place. Oh and the whole time you have no internet so there's no way to confirm that it didn't really happen. Then imagine finally getting in contact with your crush only to find out they've tried to kill themselves numerous times before. Then they tell you not to worry about them. That's how my day went yesterday.
I'm really sorry that had to happen to you! Since IDK what to say for this um I'll keep this short. First off, I hope they're safe right now and if you can, give them support by just being there. I usually never have that and it hurts a lot. I hope you're both ok ❤
I really know how you feel I’ve virtually had a similar dream to that before but I really don’t want to talk about it because it hurts
It’s been a year, are you okey?
Hi! Are you and your crush doing okay now? Also just know that you are loved :)
Card I can understand how scary that must have been like you saw your crush kill him or herself and that it's most likely very horrifying cuz I don't know if this person is your friend I'm just going to guess that they are and that must traumatized you and I hope you told the person that this happened and that if they do ever think about this know that you care about them and you don't want them to hurt themselves or worse
As far as the "happy pills" thing. I think that the negative light just came from the idea, that what the doctor said, along with everything else, was distorted through the lens of the main character's depression. A cynical, clouded perspective from the character on the offer of the medication. Not necessarily the opinion of the game or its makers.
This is exactly what I came here to say.
I've just relized how much of a father figure Sean is
ikr
SHUT UP, U SHOULDNT TELL PEOPLE TO DO DAT
SnatchyHurdle31 EDGELORD I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT
SnatchyHurdle31 EDGELORD SOY BOY YOU ARE TOO WEAK TO HURT YOURSELF
matiszefCZ Why are you even here? This isn't the place for your bullshit.
Thank you for playing a game like this and I appreciate the discussion you had after it brings up lots of good points that many people don't talk about often
Actually Rora many people don't talk about their problems but I've told a few about it
Kevin Cooper that’s what she said Kevin
Actually Rora true
Tried reaching out.....
Always denied.
Gonna talk to one of my trusted friends...
They won't listen, what's the point.
Tried opening up to my closest relatives...
Acting like they don't care.
But even life was like that, I believe that there are still people who wanted me to be happy, to be who I really are and to strong at times like these.
For those who had lost their hopes, remember that you are never alone at your battle. We are here to guide you as Jack said.
You will find the ppl that care for u. True friends will always listen,you'll find them sooner . And keep on fighting bcs you can do it!! We're all here for you!!! ≧∇≦
Hi! Have you found someone to talk? Are you doing okay? Also your so strong for still having those positive thoughts inside your head :)
Well said, Jack. This community is unlike anything I’ve ever found, and I don’t just mean on the internet. It really does feel like a family, and I am so, so grateful that we have carved this corner of the web out for ourselves. We support each other, teach each other, defend, learn, and grow with each other. You lead with a great example, Jack, and we’ll keep following it.
One thing I realized recently is that PMA isn’t a movement or an action; it’s a mindset and a lifestyle, one that is always looking toward the horizon for that potential happiness, no matter what we’re feeling in the moment now. PMA isn’t about instantaneous happiness. It’s about never giving up.

This.comment.is.amazing
👌🏼❤️
we got you girl or boy or lizard or what the fuck people are know with them 63 genders but you will alaways be welcomed!
Some of the best people just have to be on the other side of the country/continent/world, don't they?
what ya mean
Nevermind...
In my opinion the doctor offering pills says something about the motivations of the doctor. I get the feeling the game creator wanted to portray the doctor as someone that doesn't care, and just wants to give you pills instead of more comprehensive psychological/psychiatric help. Basically the doctor just wants to make money by handing out pills, and in reality doesn't particularly care about the patients or the outcome.
Sadly it was, and may still be, a common practice. The mentality of tossing pills at problems was done as a means of trying to treat people you either can't or just don't want to bother coaxing out of a depressed state. Sadly....and spoiler, things don't always end well when you do this. Often it leads to worse situations in many, a reliance on drugs, debt and running from your problem. Or worse. It is also a sad state of things, but the medical world (at least in the US here) is largely private business at the end of the day. Feels like the creator was burned on this sort of thing too, the doctor gobbling secrets all day and shilling out pills rather than trying to work people out of their problems and raking in the money during such.
That was my mindset to it as well.
Many doctors want to do their job rather than necessarily help people. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of therapists and psychiatrists etc that want to help people, but to them, it's still just black and white. Under 18, they'll try not to give you any pills and will instead fill you with lies and false hope, telling you that it's nothing that can't be solved, just things that have happened that if you talk about they'll suddenly get better. I guess, for some people, that may be true. But for a lot you need more than just fake, overused words to help you through. Doctors may attempt to help but you're just one person out of seven or eight billion to them. Shrug.
I agree. I've got various chronic medical conditions and have had good and bad doctors in several different fields, including mental health, and it is scary how two different doctors treating the same issues can have massively different levels of engagement, compassion, scope of knowledge, bias, burnout, and honesty. There are definitely doctors whose goal is to run out the clock rather than help patients, and think of people as hindrances rather than humans. I've got some stories, lemme tell you... it's really discouraging to people who try to be active in their care and be informed about their bodies to be dismissed or condescended to.
Whenever mental health (or any medical) issues come up, a common refrain from people is a generic "see a doctor, get some help," but I think people should be specifically encouraged to "get *EFFECTIVE* help." Absolutely be willing to try various forms of treatments, but don't waste time and money on treatments that don't work, and people who can't (or won't) help.
i hate being this way. i hate being alone. i hate waking up to no one. i hate laying in my bed knowing that i have no reason to get up. i hate being stuck in this loop of wake up, eat, then go to bed. i hate not being able to get help because of my parents disregarding my depression like it's a simple cough. i hate living with my mentally abusive family. i hate being in this world.
i have scars. many, many scars. i'm constantly tortured by them every day. i don't blame other people for my scars. i don't blame my family, i don't blame the bullying at school. i blame myself, because i keep telling myself that it's stupid. but it's like a drug. your mind paints this portrait in your head that the numbness will be cured by the stinging on your fragile skin. and i believe it. however, after every single shock of pain it gives me, i regret it. i regret the decision i made to cause my own pain. i can't remember why i even did it in the first place. it's like i've fainted, and i've woken up with retrograde.
i haven't gotten in-depth with my problems to anyone because i think that nobody will care. nobody will understand. nobody will take the time to listen. it's like i set myself up for failure. it's like the masks. they pretend they care. they pretend that they kow what i'm going through. THEY PRETEND THAT THEY CAN FIX IT WHEN THEY CAN'T.
nobody can fix me.
i'm broken.
but i will stay strong so that i can help anyone else that DOES understand the cycle of misery... the fear of failure... the constant hate towards the armor that is their skin, the pain of feeling like nothing, the agony of believing that what they have gone through is pointless.
i want to help them. and that's what i'm still here for.
stay strong. keep your posture straight, get up out of bed today. you never know what's going to come out of today. take a chance. ♡
I would hug you if I could.
Churry Piez depression is a very deep hole that is hard to get out of. Depression is like torture, but no matter how much it hurts, people need to endure everything. Try focusing on the happy things more. Get some hobby’s, find any reason to get out of bed. Go on walks, go out with your friends, do whatever you think will help you. I am struggling with depression as well, not nearly as bad as your depression, but I do know what you feel. It feels like nothing can change your mood. It feels like the worst pain imaginable. It hurts. It really does. But you can still get through it.
Pull the trigger
We’re all a little broken in our own ways, I know you feel like no one can help but stay hopeful :) I’m proud of you and want you to know that your loved and that your doing the best that you can
I'm going to open this by saying that I may not have been through what you've been through, and I may not be able to help you, but I just hope this makes you feel a tiny bit better. True strength does not come with size. True strength does not come with muscle or intelligence. True strength comes with not giving up even when faced with the most hardest of obstacles. True strength is not stepping off of the path to recovery, but it is to continue on it, whether you are alone or with those closest to you. True pain wants to take down true strength. Think of them like people. True pain is the thoughts in your head that will stop at NOTHING to destroy you from the inside out. True pain is the people on the outside who want to break you down and beat you up with their words. True pain will show up in the hardest of times, and it will only make things worse. But true strength is your friend, and always will be. True strength will always be there to argue with true pain, and they will continue to argue and wrestle until one of them gives up. True strength will not give up as long as you are there, because you are the only thing there to prevent that. If you don't give up, then true strength will always be there to take care of your wounds. Don't give up on true strength, because true strength would never give up on you. True pain may always come back, but that's why true strength will always be ready to fight for you.
I honestly feel like Sean is one of the best youtubers who articulate how important it is to talk when you are not surviving and that no matter what you are going through you always have another option and aren't alone. 💕💕
I didn’t realize how serious this matter could be, if you are depressed or you don’t think there’s anything left for you here, just know that nothing is worth your life. It does get better. Hang in there.
Is it bad that when you said "it does get better" my brain changed it to "it doesn't get better" and I had to reread that?....
The fact that there are only a couple people in the world who care if I end it keeps me alive but I still cry every night and break down most days.
Too whoever is reading this, save what little hope you have left and hold it tight. You'll get through this :)
*hang* in there
I lost my dad just a couple of days after Christmas 2017 to Suicide. I’ve suffered from the same depression and anxiety and same thoughts as he had since I was little due to genetics, and this video really hit home. I’ve wanted to just give up and just see whatever happens after I die. I’ve refused much needed medicine when I was 11-13 and I seriously regret now that I’m older. I’m almost 15 and I wish that maybe if I didn’t see depressed kids talking shit about the meds then maybe instead of getting worse like I’ve been I’ve gotten progressively worse. I can honestly relate to almost everything. The mask, people telling me they can’t help, the wish to just..die. It’s hard, but I’ve been trying to keep a positive mental attitude. I’ve started doing things that make me feel better about myself. Ive been working out because that makes me happy. The burning of my muscles and everything is like a temporary relief from every thing it’s a healthy destraction from my destructive mind. Instead of thinking about killing myself I think about the amount of sit ups or jumping jacks I’m going to do or how many calories I’m burning with every cling arm crunch I do. It’s hard,but honestly if it wasn’t for Jack and his PMA thing this year wouldn’t be doing shit. I’d probably just sleep way more than I do now. Which would be a lot considering I sleep almost 12 hours anyway. It’s still hard to wake up and I need to go back to therapy,but for now I’m doing what I can to survive
Im Srry For You :( My Friend Died :(
My dad was a little bit of an ass..
My grandfather 2 days before his birthday 82 on december 7th died of lung cancer he never somked not once his husband (yes he was gay but was strait for like 7 decades) took him to the hospital when he had breathing issues he died days later oh my friends gpa died on christmas pf 2012 he literally waited for his grandson to leave the house before dieing so goddamn sad
I kind of get that same solution but enough about me. Thanks for not picking the wrong path.
Thank you for staying alive. ❤️
Please everyone be reminded that we, as a community and comment section are here for you. Up and down, good or bad, we are always here for you.
EmMuffinDraws thank you
EmMuffinDraws thank you... I read that and just started crying again...
You both are very welcome
Thank you. I really hope you don't deal with terrible stuffq
Thank you. I really hope you the best
Sometimes.....I wonder why I wake up. I wonder why Im here........I wonder why Im still here......
Someone who has never lost anyone doesnt understand what so many people go through. Think about it, you wake feeling happy, excited, and that it's going to be a *great* day..........but for some people, it's not like that......for some people.......all they think about is "Should I give up today?" "Should I stay in this world of sin and hatred ?" I always think about those two things.........but yet, Im still here, living, trying to put a smile on my face even if I have to fake........I try to make it a real smile. I try to not make the people that care for me worry.......I try not to use a mask to hide my true feelings....... but........ it sometimes doesnt work like that. Sometimes people think that just ending it all cures your pain.............it doesnt...........it doesnt work at all. All you do is make the people that cares about you feel lost, sad, upset...............And to be honest, I dont want that for them. So I keep fighting, I keep trying to make the best of it.........even if it's hard.....I try. And so should you😌
So please, keep trying..........
BurnOutMaster that was an inspiring comment and I hope you have a very good life ✌️👍
@@AlexM-Kaiser Thank you for taking the time to read my comment
Im glad you are keeping so hard in not giving up please keep it up it will get better in time, you just need patience
Keep living, we're all behind you, ready to support you. Also, rip that mask to shreds, you're never wearing it again, Hun.
God this made me cry because this game speaks to me so much. And Jack showing that he cares for the broken people and us hurt fans. Thanks for being for us Jack.
*hugs*
Shhhh... It's ok. I don't what you're going through, but whatever it is, you'll get through it.
Toasty Roaster yeah and I hope he knows that we would always try to help him, too as much as we can.
A guy wearing only shorts I really do hope so. It could be worse but it could be better. I don't know..
Toasty Roaster I heard a quote somewhere, and although I don't know where it was from exactly or how it went entirely, it went something like: "That's the thing about broken people, we're like jigsaw pieces. We all fit together to make one big picture." I'm not sure how correct that was, but I hope that you know that there is always someone else who will help you, and there is a group of people you can fit into and help make a bigger picture. (Even if that picture is still a relatively small one, it's big enough to be significant to you and anyone else involved.)
Toasty Roaster I was so close yo crying too, and whenever Jack paused I was like "Don't you dare cry Jack, cause if you cry I'll cry!"
This game just tugged at my heart. I haven’t felt sad like this for so long. I have been taught not to feel many emotion because it’s not important where I am. This, however, properly gave me the feels. Not just the small flicker of joy or sadness that lasts a couple seconds before I correct myself. Thank you for showing me how to feel sadness again.
LPS Sparkles its ALWAYS ok and many times necessary to show and EXPERIENCE your emotions, no matter what culture you're in or from! Emotions are human, HEALTHY things.
Emotions are important, but it's also important that you control them. Wherever you are, there is no emotions that should be taken for granted.
LPS Sparkles like and comment on my recent bo3 vid would be very appreciated
Sounds like where I live
LPS Sparkles listen man ik im being Hippocratic when I say this but it is OK to show your feelings or tell your story it actually helps I personally hide my feelings but I have told my story and it helped
For my poem in my English class I did "we all hide something behind a mask...i hide pain, sadness...i keep reliving that moment...it hurts everytime...if only you knew...you'd have my back" I first made it when my boyfriend broke up with me and I found it hard to smile I never shared it till we had to make a poem in class my teacher said that he loves it and the feeling in it but now it's even harder to smile... My best friend is in the hospital he was hit by a train and lost his leg and my ex (the person that pushed me to make the poem) I'm not allowed to talk to anymore because his parents are being too protective so I'm just having a rlly rough time in my life...
Bubble Gum Cat I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, that really sounds like you're going through some rough times. How are you holding up?
Hey you can get through this and i hope it doesnt sound weird but im here if you ever need to talk to a random boi on the internet
Bubble Gum Cat I'm so sorry to hear about your situation! Don't forget that you always have this community to talk to and share with. Don't forget that we care about you and that Sean truly wants to spread happiness to each of us: that includes you. I hope you feel better soon and I'm glad your friend is alive after that train accident!
You are not alone, there are people out there that understand what you are going through and will help you! I really hope things go better in your life!
when i was really young, my brother took his own life. i always thought about how he left me, he didn’t think about how it would impact me, i thought he was selfish. i never really fully digested that that had happened until i was about 13, i ended up going to a mental health facility for 3 weeks and i’ve been in therapy since. i’m 17, my college is being almost completely paid for in scholarships and loans, i’m graduating high school in less than 5 months, and i’m planning on becoming an art teacher. i wrote my 4 year reflection for my school’s graduation requirement portfolio, and my closing line was, “I feel more ready now for the real world than I’ve ever felt before.” i feel like that’s really true. i feel like i’m gonna be okay. it’s stressful now and there are lots of people who are gonna try to bother me and get in my way, but i know i’ll come out of it okay.
Jack, you're just a guardian angel on earth.
When I wake up and eating breakfast before I go to work I always watch a video of you.
You're make me laugh and brighten up my day.
Even If you always say that we don't need to thank you , I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for just being there.
I am really proud of you and this community. Thank you.
Jack I am really really glad you are playing this game. It is a really important game and I am glad you talk about this subject. You always have a way of talking about this subject, making me feel better about myself. Thank you for being serious and just talking to us.
This is a fake Jack dont click a thing
Whatever you’re going through, be strong. Fight. You WILL get happier. Fight for it.
You can do it.
Hey , try to talk to someone i promise that will help out :)
(had something to add hehe)
PMA. To me is about not focusing on the bad stuff, but focus on the good :)
Eks.
No PMA: I feel horrible today, so I'm just gonna lock myself in my room all day and cry
PMA: I feel horrible today, I'm gonna go do something that makes me feel better and effects me in a positive way, like talking to my friend...
Does that make sense?
Yeayea
Kia With Unicorns and to help stay alive, always have a reason to live. no matter how stupid it sounds. it can be maybe your new season of a show you like isn't out or your the only one to feed your cat, no matter what reason believe it or make one. it helps
fedorable patrick a really good point :)
PMA is a mental curse that slowly tear you down, until you are a soulless yes-man, who neglects negativity and will force you to live inside your dream-bubble. Get Red Pilled
Yeah it does totally !
Thanks for you’re explanation it might help some other people 🙂
Much happiness to you !💚
16:28 this had me in tears... of happiness that they were together again, and the sad agony tearing at my heart knowing that this happens to people, more people than I could ever imagine...
Jack/Sean, thank you so much for addressing this problem, it hits close to home.
You are such a wonderful person, God bless your kind heart, and thank you for bringing more awareness to these problems. I am in tears because you are such a kind, gentle person. Thank you Sean, love you
The thing is, that when people say they want to die, they actually just want things to change.
Hang in there, I love you 😊
honest to satan I just cant pick 1 BTS member They want to be free of the suffering. They feel the only way to escape is to leave the world behind.
honest to satan I just cant pick 1 BTS member thx for caring
Aww that's nice! Thank you. Right back at you!😊
That's why I never thought of it
Lol "hang in there" i see what you did there
You hurt me.
You broke me down. You never even tried to restore those pieces.
You left me broken on the ground, shattered like fragments of glass.
You left me daily and then came back.
You reeled me in just to let me go again and make it hurt
Just that much more.
I'm depressed because of you.
I'm stressed. Broken. Defeated.
I'm suicidal and abused.
All because of you.
And yet... I hope you're doing well.
I hope you're happy,
That the new job you have is the perfect fit.
I hope you've moved on though I couldn't.
And I hope you still remember me.
And all you did to me.
Because I love you.
And for some seriously fucked up reason,
I think I always will.
It will get better. Focus on yourself. Find an outlet that you love, whether it be art, exercise, music, singing, anything. Even if you're not great at it now, pour your heart and soul into it, and as your skills grow, so will you. You will learn to be happy doing what you love, and you will learn to be happy with who you are as a person. I believe in you, and no matter how hard things get, you can fight through them. You deserve to be happy.
it hurts..doesn't it?...I don't know how to deal with this but..I hope we get through it..all of us who are going through it.
Hey guys I made walktrough for this game on my channel too, please rate it.
Read it backwards. It’s a two meaning poem.
Rachael yes I've struggled for my whole life with depression, and these things are part of my everyday routine. They do help, but this poem isn't really about the whole of my depression, just an aspect of my life that I carry around no matter what, whether I'm experiencing an episode of depression or not. Thanks for the tips, though. They really do help.
The fact that 4 of the 5 endings lead to suicide of some form or other provides a telling example of a persons psychosis when they've lost someone dear to them. What I appreciate the developers doing is creating the one survival ending the way they did. It wasn't a cure all or happily ever after ending, it was the one choice you could (and should make) among the multiple darker ones. There's always that one gleam of light somewhere. Always.
You made a good point, I was on at least 20 antidepressants since I was about 7 and non of them worked, they actually made me worse... What tends to help me is distracting myself from the real world, I draw, I make videos here on TH-cam, I take care of my pets (6 tree frogs, 2 skinks, 1 toad, 1 nute, 1snail.) I have been dealing with depression since I was 4 or 5 but I was on meds since I was 7-16 and I'm now 18 gonna be 19 September 26... It gets really hard to deal with, but thank you for playing this and saying what you said. I postponed watching it until now bc I was going through a rough time, and I couldn't seem to find even 1 small thing to make me happy. I just wanted to say thank you again for making this, and thank you for being you. I hope you have nothing but good fortune in the future. ❤️
Thank you for fighting on even if its hard. Thank you for commenting and being part of the community. Thank you for sharing. You're loved by alot of people even if said people don't know you personally. ❤️
You're a fighter and thats inspirational. Im happy you're still alive,everyone is! So tq for fighting the depression
Papapapapa
you got this!!
I ended up crying, I've known people who have sadly passed away but I didn't know one of so well but I knew him long enough to call him friend, when my brother found out he was heartbroken and his depression has gotten worse and fear that one day I find him gone. Thankfully he has been given the help he needs but I still fear for him.
Creed remind him that u care it’s nice to hear that
Wendy 73541 I already have, I told him the last I want to see is him lying on the floor dead.
Creed
Don't worry, it will be ok.
You have my families hearts with you. I hope your brother shall never allow the sadness to get to him. Best of luck to you and your family.
Neil Sutherland thank you for your kind words.
The part at the clinic wasn't painting using pills as negative. It was saying that when you go through stuff like this and seek help the first thing the doctor tries to give you is pills instead of actually figuring out what's actually wrong(basically what's causing the depression or even the full details of the it)
Kyng Esco and when u talk to someone you know that it's just their job and it feels like a lie
Kyng Esco Yep and the feeling that the doctor doesn't really care because its just their job. They're payed to help you.
I know someone who’s been through every pill on the market. He’s 27. He’s been depressed pretty much all of his life. He just now found a pill that sort of helps. The price, however, makes him even more depressed because of how much the medicine is even with insurance.
Kyng Esco Yes but this was like showing the girl the bird and going just have some meds. Not actually doing something to help and getting onto the level she was at. It's just an easy way out not actually doing something good. Yes it's good it'll help and all. But this was showing it as an easy option to get out of really helping.
tbh: sometimes it is reasonable to do so. because the pills help to get through to the patient suffering from depression. if not for the pills the talking wouldn't work either.
I just remember the moment that I gave up. I remember when I was so depressed. I remember when I tried to kill myself. Today I'm alive, and I'm so happy of it. My marks are there, but I'm alive.
*hugs u*
@inés_army :3 if you ever need to talk just know that I'm here for you
Thank you for playing this Sean, I've had a rough couple of days where my depression and overthinking really has been hitting me hard, but seeing this and hearing you talk reminds me that I'm not always gonna feel this way, that there is a future out there waiting for me and that it's okay for me to let my guard down, I know I'm not the only one who's very thankful for everything you do to make us feel accepted and welcome but thank you again for always being here spreading positivity and support 💚
You are not alone I too have been suffering from depression, on Thursday I went to the doctors to get help as I also suffer from anxiety too.
If one day you need help just ask the community we will be so happy to help you !
Much happiness to you !💚
Thank you Elis_5e I really appreciate being in such a lovely community as this
Sam Wood I know I should be going to the doctors as well but my anxiety and overthinking keeps me from actually going, but I'm glad you're reaching out and getting help, I wish you the best in the future
glad to see you're pulling through! :)
Jack has so much good in him. When he will have a child I already know that his child will be a wonderful, heartfull, loving, caring etc. person. This may get lost in the flood of comments but I hope you see this Jack, you taught me so much about being a good person in life than any person I know. I become who I am today because of you. It's awesome when my life was going to shit, I saw a notification from you and when I watched it I just felt all my pain went away. I wish I meet you someday Jack and I just want to give you a big ol' hug. Thank you Jack!
Hakai No Senshi or heartless like anti Jack
I agree with you 100%, you're absolutely right, I feel the same about Jack. That's a beautiful message. I hope and I'm sure that you'll meet Jack someday ❤
when i first saw this comment i saw "i am going to sh*t"
Who the hell disliked the video? Sean is a beautiful bean that isn't afraid to help people out. Thank you Sean this actually did help.
Pippin Lockwood I see what you did there. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Do you want Jack to die?!!! Cos Sean Bean dies in EVERYTHING.......👍😂 (And this is a joke, just to be clear. 😆)
The Commentators Okay?
I disliked it because of this comment
Kyle Brofloski good for you, because I care so much..😑
Notter Notter
Think I give a fuck?
I've never seen the join ending before, and when i saw it, i stated to cry. Well, my vision got foggy, but i didn't cry. 'Join' is the saddest thing i could hear about a story like this.... *Join...*
This really hits home. One of my friends committed suicide a little over a month ago and ever since then I've fallen into into of those "darker times." I also have anxiety and paranoia, which adds on to all the pain I'm already in, especially with my significant other being less communicative. Watching this really helped. Lately, I've thought a lot about giving up, cuz it's hard to feel that people care when everything around you come crashing down. This video really helped me feel like I wasn't alone.
❤️
definitely go speak to someone :) I'm currently training to be a clinical psychologist and there are people out there!
I think the part about the doctor and the pills was depicturing how she felt about the doctor and the pills, and i think she felt like the doctor didn't understand her, and probably thought that it wouldnt help.
Ik u may never read this Jack, but I wanted you to know this...
I wrote down several pages of quotes from that conversation at the end. I pasted them all over the walls of my room. And I plan to look at them everyday so it won't be as hard for me to keep going. You made this video on the right day, bc I was having second thoughts on continuing life.
So basically, thank you Jack. Without you, I would probably be dead. And most likely a long time ago. I am so glad that I found your channel.
Love you soooo much Jack 💜💜
Tura Lail I know it probably won't mean anything coming from me a random stranger, but please, keep living for me
I know I am also a stranger, but I believe in you! Keep going!
Keep on going i believe in you!
I am sorry you feel this sad. Some of my friends feel the same as you. I tell you what I told them; keep living. Someone loves you, even if you don't know who. So keep trying.
Tura Lail WOW. Thank God you are alive. Remember, life IS worth living. I'm glad his channel helps you!!! Stay strong! *hugs*
It's so hard not to give up sometimes. Yesterday I was at my wit's end, and I nearly broke. I know I have to stay strong for the people who need me here, but sometimes it grows so powerful I lose sight of what's really important.
It's hard. It feels like it would be so easy to give in to that relentless pull. I hope you're doing better now, that you've found something to tether you here, something to hold on to. We only have this one life. I hope you chose to stay and that you continue to choose to stay.
I saw this game before and the artstyle is so gorgeous. And a heavy story but still so important ! So thank you for playing this !
How do you get the septic Sam😂
How did you get Jack's logo in your name?
She is a sponsor
Daisy Grossman I sponsor the channel !
Daisy Grossman you donate to jack. It's next to his name
The clinic part hit me really hard. I’m currently going through a divorce. So, not I’m not dealing with an actual physical death, but the death of the future I had in my mind with my children. Ive tried to go see therapists, but I can’t due to personal financial and insurance reasons. The mask cracking thing is exactly how I’m feeling right now. I have a mask on. I’m terrified. I’m sad. I’m worried all the time. I try to stay positive. It’s hard. I’ve fought through the suicidal thoughts (from when I was younger) and I’m not dealing with them now, but the whole idea of having to be “happy” all the time is draining/exhausting.
Just know that there is life on the other side of your thoughts. I know. It may not be what you think it should be, but it can be amazing. I have learned that I am stronger than I thought I was. And, yes, I was on “happy pills” for a while. There is NOTHING wrong with that if you need it.
Anyway, I’ve rambled enough. I hope everyone reading has a wonderful day. You are important. You are special. You will make it through this. I did and still am - for what it’s worth. Hang in there.
I am a child of a recent divorce and I just want you to know that your children will always love you. no matter what they will always love you. even if you find someone else or don't down the road they will always love you. don't doubt yourself or lose yourself. you just remember that you have to do this for your kids, you have to keep going for your kids. through the happiness and sadness they will be there for you and love you. and things will get better. that I can promise. you just have to get there.
Thats what my mom used to call em, "happy pills". All they did was make me feel like a mindless zombie. I'd walk around school wondering if it was still worth it. For along time I thought the pills wear supposed to make me tolerable to others, because when i was sad my mom would tell me i needed to take my pills.
Paranrml Grl we are here for you
Were all here for everyone , and im genuinely sorry for your situation , i know how that feels in most aspects , such as never knowing my father , my mom did heavy drugs, and i ended up getting adopted .... Im 23 and was married for 3 years before my ex wife cheated on me ....we all have problems ;but if you're willing to talk , im willing to listen
Thank you so much for these kind words. I am so sorry that you are going through this from your perspective. I can only imagine what you (and my kids) are going through, which is making this harder I think - because I can't relate. I can say, from the parental perspective though, that no matter what you feel about your parents at the moment, the same way you say that my children will always love me no matter what - it's the same about your parents. I'm sure they are doing what they believe is right for you. It may not seem like it all the time, but it's true. I'm here if you ever want to chat, hun. :)
My friend lost his dad and he was only 12...he lost his mask while playing his favorite game, fotball ⚽. Everyone in the class came to the fotball field and tried to help him. He is not depressed or angry anymore. He just went with it. (he did not kill himself by the way) his father got a heart attack while swimming.
I remember feeling so empty and remembering that life was like the for many people in the world. There were so many people that were there for me, that have been there to help me, but I simply ignored them, because I thought I had to fix myself to fix my own feelings. Ignoring people isn’t the way to fix your feelings or to help yourself. Sometimes you need the help of others to recover from your dying state.
There has been a lot going on in my life lately, and I really do feel like giving up. But I wont. I will never hit that give up button because even though crappy things happen, i will never give up. No one else should too. I understand it. Its not easy to keep living when your world has flipped upside down. But everyone who is struggling, I know its hard to think about, but it will get better. My favourite quote by Jack is one I live with every single day.
"Everything will be alright....
Maybe not today....
Maybe not tomorrow....
But eventually...."
And its true, it will get better. So all of you out there who are struggling, please dont give up. We are all in this together. We will all help each other get passed our pain. We are allowed to be sad, depressed, angry with what life throws at us, but dont throw away your potential, your life, your loved ones. It will all be okay. We're in this together.

I wrote you a poem, I hope you like it..
Endless rain
And graying skies
Perhaps the night seems unending
But I hope you’ll take this umbrella
To protect you from the rain
I speak from experience brother. Sometimes you don't have a choice
iceheart baby there's always a choice
someone out there depends on where you stand
Jack, after seeing this video and hearing your speech I realize something.. I realize that, no matter how sad and depressed you are, suicidal is not always the answer.. I experienced depression before and even now, and I'm 14 yrs old, I was depressed because I always thought of my self that I'm the most useless guy on our family and even at other people... And I felt like nobody cared about me and nobody really needs me in my life, because first of all, when I'm sad, I mean so sad, nobody even my family approached me and talking to me until I feel better, so I just hide my sadness cause I think it will be better if I kept it from myself... But my depression gotten worse and worse and telling myself I wanted to suicide.. But after watching your videos and other youtuber's videos, I learned that we humans need to be strong, and if no one cared about you, someone will.. and, we humans, worth living... God support us, God is always here... We need to hold on and don't let go.. Life is short, so spread the good memories, God bless you all!!
Dansu Keep fighting
Keep fighting, I can relate to hiding my sadness, I'm so used to being the 1 to hold my friends up that I tell myself if I fall, so will they...and I've gotten a bit better at opening up, but I've been going thru a tough time, I have wanted to commit suicide or hurt myself....but on April 27, 1 of my friends ran away. I later found out she ran away with a gun...2/3 weeks later, I found out that they finally found her....she was dead...and it's been really hard for me, but it made me realize just how badly it would hurt those around me if I were to follow down the same path. It's hard and I still cry about her, but it's getting better. U just gotta keep it head up and keep going, try to find someone u can open up to, it helps alot, and if u ever want to hurt urself, try drawing instead, that's a method that REALLY helps me and has kept me scar free.
Dansu hi man good speech and I have felt what you have felt it’s horrible
I feel the same way
May you have strength to continue living, and to give strength to others as well
But you don’t have to bear the sadness alone, your family probably would support you if they knew you were going through tough times, so speak to them or even one of them because family is family and they really care about you
My eyes got sweaty all of a sudden.
Nikka Sweaty?😂
Nikka you need a sweaty eyed friend?
Nikka I know right?! I don’t know what the hell it’s doing there!
OMG you guys ♥
“Hang in there, you’re doing great, and we’re all very proud of you”. Those beautiful words will stick me forever.....thank you Jack ❤️
I've been depressed for years....and it's so hard finding the strength just to wake up. I hardly eat...and I struggle to stay awake throughout the day. I've lost so many people...so many friends and family. No one talks to me anymore...I'm just...so tired...
I love this video. The soft tone of voice you used in this video was so respectful. I've seen other TH-camrs play this and they never took it seriously. You handled this well. I appreciate it. I love you Jack.
Just know you are not alone Jade. You are safe here and surrounded by people who care and want to help. Please keep trying... and maybe try to eat more...? I know it’s hard and I’m sure you’ve heard this time and time again but it’ll help with your depression and fatigue, even if you only eat a little more...
Please keep fighting, you got this! (I can understand if you want to ignore cheesy words from a random person off the internet, I just wanted you to see them)
I can’t imagine how bad that would have to be to live through that. I’m no professional but I can tell you that if you had the strength to watch this video, that little spark to cling to life is there, and that honestly makes me feel better already. Get some help if you haven’t already, and look for people that inspire you. And if you don’t have anyone irl who does that for you, find inspiration in this video, or this comment, or others.
I don’t know you, or anything about you. I never will. But know that people don’t like see others suffer. I wish I could do more for you, but for now, I’ll do what I can. I hope you get better🤗

Your comment means so much. Never, not ever would helpful words be weird. You care and that's all that matters.
